A small city in Northern Minnesota situated on Lake Bemidji, surrounded by woods, lakes, casinos, and Native American reservations. Bemidji is simultaneously both a charming family friendly tourist town with the local attraction being a statue of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox, and extremely ghetto, as it has a high population of druggies and homeless people. It also boasts an extremely high crime rate. Being centrally located in the middle of nowhere in Northern Minnesota, it is really cold in Bemidji during the Winter and the local population typically likes to call it "Brrrmidji". Bemidji is also home to Bemidji State University, a small university that has a reputation for being a party school, but epically fails at living up to that standard. BSU has six main selling points..
1. Above Average hockey
2. Being situated directly on a lake
3. Being cheap
4. Did I mention it's on a lake?
5. It strives to be eco-friendly.
6. See point 2.
Tips if visiting Bemidji for the first time....
1. Avoid Walmart at all costs. Just trust me.
2. Do not visit in the Winter. You car probably won't start and you will be stuck until it warms up in May.
3. Eat at as many restaurants as possible, as Bemidji has a lot of nice places to eat out at.
4. Go fishing.
5. Take a picture with Paul and Babe

A small town in Northern Minnesota with a population of around 13,000. In 1937 the first ever statue of Paul Bunyan was built there. Back in they day it was a lumberjack town, but now it runs on tourism. The name derives from Chief Bemidji who helped the first white settlers of the area. Because of this, there are some offensive statues: a cigar store Indian statue of Chief Bemidji overlooking the lake the city is built around, and what has been dubbed the "nazi Indian" at the best tourist shop in town (of course, it's actually just an Indian holding up his arm to say "how"...). Bemidji is the self-proclaimed Curling Capital of the USA and in 2006 a team of Bemidji men took bronze at the Olympics. Other than curling, this is what Bemidji (and the surrounding area) has to offer: other ice sports, fishing, biking, beautiful forest, snowmobiling, racism, art, a small ski hill, Paul Bunyan, bars and coffee shops, a small university, lakes, Minnesota accents, and casinos.
Bemidji is my favorite city in Beltrami County.

When fishing for muskie and another fish, such as a pike or gar, attempt to eat your bait boatside you may choose to respond with a Bemidji Backscratch. This is simply a firm, yet gentle "scooting"motion or slap with your rod tip on the offending fishes' back. Usually accompanied by encouragement to leave.
When a gar followed my Bobbie into the 8 on Wauby, I gave him the ol' Bemidji Backscratch and told him to git.

Bemidji Creep: to make an illegal right turn lane by splitting the straight lane
When a man shoots a dry puff of air out of his cock when climaxing and holds in all the jizz. This results in a whooshing of air towards the women that blow dries her hair if pointed towards the face.
Man 1: I thought Shandra had corn rows? She looks like my boy Einstein over there!
Man 2: Her hair looked tight earlier begore my boy Big John took her in the closet. No hiding the fact he gave her a Bemidji Blow Dry now. Judging by the fro' he didn't hit the Ion button either.
Man 1: Aaahhhh. That's why she's running her hand through her hair. Crazy still can't figure out nothing came out but the poof. Big John's got more air than the Stay Puft Marshmellow Man!
