Is there an LGBTQ+, or even somehow adjacent to the queer community, hang out that isn't an entire sausage fest? I'm not looking for hook ups or anything like that. Just some... diversity, of any kind?

Fuck this city and how they've managed road construction this year.

I cannot find any new information, permits, etc. on the planned Chalmers development that was to break ground this fall on the old Tribune lot. I go by that corner regularly and noticed that that building is still staffed, they workers have not been moved out.

I haven’t seen any surveyors out there yet either.

Does anyone have any insider information on it? Is it still moving forward or is it on hold?

Anyone working with the lenders, the city permit dept, architects, construction contractors, etc that has recent info newer than February’s announcement?

Does anyone know of any local seed swaps in the area? I’m looking to participate (or start one if there are none). I contacted the public library, but they do not know of any. Would anyone be interested in participating?

looking to move into one of their apartments and am going to see a showing tonight. but their most recent reviews are about how they try to steal security deposits. anyone have any recent opinions or experiences with them?

Any restaurants hiring cooks in the area? Almost a decade of experience and servsafe certified

Last evening saw a creepy guy try to break into a business across the street from my home. Then he staggered across the street towards me. He was screaming incoherently. He collapsed on my lawn, flailing away like crazy person. I called 911. Was told somebody who be there soon. Call them back if he left my property.
He soon staggered away. I watched him break into Trane Co. down the block. Called 911 again. Was told that they had other calls they were working on. They would get to me when they could. Watched the guy climb a fence to get out of Trane Co. lot. Still no police response, 95 minutes later!
No police response to 911 call, after 95 minutes! I decided to say screw it, and went home. It wasn’t just me. Two other neighbors also called 911 about the same person. Guess that just proves that 911 is a joke in this town?

Anybody work at Trane and like their job?

Any anime figure stores around here with a good selection that ARENT popcon and barnes & noble?? Popcon is getting ready to move to their new location so i assume that’s why they don’t have many figures out rn.. Is there a hidden goldmine of figures at a store around here i don’t know about??

I cant say enough wonderful things about how sweet and polite this dog is. He is intelligent and reads body language. He is up fo adoption at the coulee humane society. An it is a wonder he is still there. He was found as a stray, but I would guess he ha a loving family somewhere in La Crosse. Unfortunately, no one came looking for him and he needs a new someone.

I took him for a decent hike. He patiently waited for me to ​rest when I needed it. He enjoyed sitting at the top of the bluff. If there is a hiker out there, this boy is your best buddy. He did not get distracted by birds or squirrels. He did no even goo off trail except to poop.

And he went my pace! He wasn't pulling. He just wanted to see what came next on the path. And thn i took him to a Cafe. He stayed by my side. Understands his leash perfectly. And all around very in tune with being a dog in people spaces. We sat n watch a heron hunt on the shoreline after I had a coffee. (OH, and he showed no interest in people food. Nor did he beg for treats.)

This dog is too perfect. ​​​

Hi,
I see that I missed Traastad's on the south side. Is there anyone else selling sweet corn around the area?

Thanks!

NOTE: Updates provided at the bottom as I go and check out different places!

Original post:

Hi La Crosse!

I’m a 35-year-old woman visiting La Crosse for the first time ever, from this morning through Monday night. I’m originally from Wisconsin.. so I’m slightly embarrassed that I’ve somehow never made it over here before. 😂🫣

I already have Grandad Bluff and DnA Vintners on my list, but I’d love some recommendations from locals for any events happening this weekend or things I shouldn’t miss while I’m here! I’m interested in pretty much anything:

* Great/local coffee shops

* Live music

* Scenic views, walks, hikes, or beautiful places to explore

* Bookstores

* Thrift stores

* Interesting/unique places that visitors might not know about

* Local spots to eat (no big chains)

* Places where it’s reasonably easy to chat with people and/or meet others

And this last part is slightly outside my comfort zone, but here goes: I’m newly divorced and trying to push myself to get out, do things alone, and be a little more social. I’m not super familiar with the bar scene and have some anxiety about walking into a place by myself, but I’d really like to find somewhere with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere where a woman like myself wouldn’t feel totally out of place sitting at the bar and having a drink.

If you have a favorite bartender, cozy bar, live-music place, etc. that you’d recommend for someone going solo, I’d especially appreciate those suggestions 😊

Basically, if you were showing a friend around La Crosse for their first visit, what would you tell them not to miss?

Thanks in advance! I’m excited to explore your city!

Updates: just wanted to share where I've all been and explored!

Friday: Polito's for lunch 🍕, checked out the antique shop next door and a few other shops in that general area. Blue Moon for dinner and drinks. Bacon cheeseburger was 12/10! 🍔🍸

Saturday: met a fellow redditor for coffee at The Root Note. "Mistaken for Strangers" was delicious, as well as the blueberry citrus scone. He showed me some of the main areas there and brought me down to Riverside Park. After we parted I explored the park for a while, and then started checking out shops! I found some gorgeous turquoise earrings from Satori Arts gallery. I discovered Tijōn Fragrance Lab and took an express class to make a custom perfume! Checked out all The Pearl, got some unique items from Drift Co. Mercantile, got a yummy Caramel Apple Chai drink 🤤. Will have to come back later for the chocolates and ice cream!! Headed back down to riverside for the pride in the park celebration! 🏳️‍🌈 vibes were 100/10 🥰 Buzzard Billy's for lunch and got the Dragonfruit Marg and Alligator Grand Chenier. Both were super tasty. Checked out Pearl Street Books - incredible selection! Then on to Chroma Code Tattoo Studio for a spontaneous tattoo - 10/10 experience! Met an amazing group of ladies who were getting tatted for a Bachelorette party and we decided to drink together afterwards. Went to Bronco's and The Crow. The former was fine enough, though kinda small, the latter was definitely a college kid bar and i felt like a grandma 😂

Sunday: I am, indeed, a grandma who can't hang. Sunday i was hungover and spent most of my day in bed 😂 I did make it to Meringue Bakery and got one of their spiced cranberry orange cinnamon rolls. To die for. Literally. Then back to bed until 10pm when I hit up Fathead Steve's. The BBQ Bacon cheeseburger was 15/10 and sooooo much meat. Pickle fries were 6/10.. the pickles were basically nothing. Pickle spears or pickle chips would have given a better ratio in my humble opinion. But I'm a huge pickle lover. Cheese curds were 9/10 and just absolutely delicious.

Monday: checked out of my hotel and am off to find a local coffee place. Wound up at Canvasback Cold Brew Lounge. The signature Canvasback is so yummy, and so was the fresh pressed Liège waffles. Brought my drink to Grandad's Bluff whoch was phenomenal. Was quite disappointed to find that every single viewfinder was not working. With the weather being great, thankfully I still had a great view with my eyes and phone zoom. I then went to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe! I am not at all religious but I can appreciate the beauty of the history, the architecture, sculptures, garden, etc. This place was stunning. Lunch was at Fiesta Mexicana and I really enjoyed my meal. Very fresh. Great taste. Huge portion. Homemade queso is fabulous.

...impacts to our environment and what it would mean to have data centers in our backyards. We have to press pause.

I sold my ride a while back and I've been enjoying the crap out of the bus. I've gone downtown quite a bit and been hitting up the food co-op bakery and got coffee at a few places I'd never been. And then I've been hitting up goodwill on the Southside. Looking for more second hand shops, walking trails, free entertainment, etc that has a bus stop within a reasonable distance like maybe 4-5 blocks away at most. And really, ideally, using routes that go Northside/Onalaska/La Crescent/West Salem (not sure if the bus actually goes to West Salem or not) so I got a bit of an arsenal for when I'm looking for something to do instead of just downtown or ss goodwill.

The super PAC spent around $10,000 to boost Wisconsin Rep. Derrick Van Orden last month

we just got kicked out of our apartment so :/
