    I've spent a lot of summer vacation time in Bemidji, so enjoyed the program. I didn't realize that Dick Beardsley was such a a great promoter; the Chamber of Commerce should hire him. Also surprised the program didn't explain WHY he was a local legend, i.e., he was a great marathon runner in his younger days, perhaps best known for his amazing race against Alberto Salazar in the 1982 Boston Marathon that became the subject of a book, Duel in the Sun. Both runners broke both the (then) race and American marathon records with the fourth and fifth fastest times ever in the marathon all-time list.

    I live in bemidji its a nice area there's lots to do.. If you got the money but they say the crime rates are high even tho we don't see much for crime around here the schools are good most teachers don't really care about you but there's the good ones, restaurants are decent most are really beautiful looking, bemidji lake when its covered in snow is fun to cross just gotta be care as the Mississippi runs through abd the ice isn't fully covered in thick snow,summer time is best time tons of swimming and fishing areas tons of trails to explore grass is green and plenty of wildlife to see.
