Little piece of heaven
I only lived in Bessemer, MI for one year, but I loved it there. If you love winter sports it's a paradise. It's a very small town so I think most of the local youth wants to get out to someplace bigger, but for me it was a little piece of "Norman Rockwell" heaven!
The town of Bessemer sits between three close by ski resorts (Big Powderhorn, BlackJack and Indian Head). Snowmobile trails are everywhere. It's cute and cozy and nice. Only minutes away from Lake Superior and forestland everywhere. An outdoorsman's paradise.
The winters are very cold and it gets pounded with snow (several hundred inches) from the lake effect.
For a small town it has plenty of places to eat out, a movie theatre, a nice community college near by and all sorts of other stuff. I really loved it there and would move back in a second, but my wife is not a fan of the cold or real small towns without Malls!
