Wisconsin Hometown Stories: La Crosse

- La Crosse was able to develop into one of Wisconsin’s largest cities because of a favorable conjunction of geographical facts. First is the breadth of fairly level ground between the river channel and the bluffs. It is wider here than in most places on the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi and, although divided by the La Crosse River and extensive wetlands, the prairie had room for a city to grow.

I was also born and raised there. That city taught me a lot about life.
I've lived here for over 35 years and this video taught me so much. Thanks for the video
We have had gram and gramps live there in a old school house on top of the big hill what beautiful city im 67 and remember that scenery even fishing awesome 👍 content thanks 👍
Much good memories, grew up there, worked for 9 years at Northern Engraving, way too many memories to list!
Great history of a great town
Ps that was in the early 1982 83 we had a blast walking around seeing the wild turkeys and other animals the town
Born and raised here. It is all so true.
Out with the old.. so sad no mention of the historical & memorable Mary E Sawyer Auditorium/ concert hall… bummer …
but life goes on & my brother & I saw RUSH in 1981 at the new concert hall.. Rush certainly didn’t disappoint.
We also skipped school to hear Teddy Kennedy speak at the new venue one afternoon.. The place was packed & you could have heard a pin drop. Regardless of political preference, he WAS an amazing speaker & had such a charisma. It was history & soon to become the end of an era… If you had the privilege to see one or more of the original Kennedy family speak, you’d be in awe. I was.
I went there to see Jim Reeves and Charlie Pride, also built and sold saw horses at the buidarama trade show, when I was a student at Western Technical in 1976.I missed Rush because I thought that he'd be back but that never happened, big mistake on my part.
Great video. That new post office building though. It’s really too bad that this country couldn’t retain its architectural history. So much artistic beauty gone.
I worked with Erik and was employed there for 20 years!
Gunderson knew how to deal appendicitis & could do appendectomies. He also knew how deadly an entropic pregnancy could be for women ! This was way back in the early part of the 20th century… It’s hard to understand how people and politicians of TODAY, seem to refuse to acknowledge that entropic pregnancies can STILL be deadly to women.
Here’s to Doctor Gunderson. I lived in La Crosse in the early 1980’s. What a beautiful city and the views off Granddads Bluff was extraordinary- and I’ll bet it STILL IS!!!
Ectopic
