La Crosse

I was visiting a friend for Riverfest 08, and hope to be back for Octoberfest!

and i can’t say i really like it here. i grew up overseas in both panama and japan and have found a fond dislike for small towns that are WAY fuckin spread out…la crosse isn’t that bad, but i can’t wait to get out of here…get out of this country i guess

I went to college in LaCrosse and was happy living there for six years between both of my degrees. It’s nice to go back & visit.

I’ve always really liked La Crosse, I’m from the area, and it has much more culture than the surrounding towns: This is a nice town, it has it’s own feel to it — the “historic downtown” is very cool, especially Pearl Street. Lots of great hang-out places, like Jules’ Coffee House and the Bodega Brew Pub; Good restaurants, too — if you plan on visiting, the Freighthouse, Hackberry’s Bistro, Piggy’s, and Fayze’s are all really nice, and relatively cheap…I think that La Crosse is definitely worth visiting.

I lived in La Crosse as a young girl and have some fond and some sad memories from there. The picture is of me when I lived on Division Street. I have not had opportunity to go back for any length of time, but the times I have been back or driving through I know that it is a beautiful place. I would love to go back and see some of the places I used to live, but I know they are probably drastically different now.
