City Drive

[@allthingsamber160]

Born, raised, and still live here in la crosse. 2:04 rivoli theator one of the oldestest theaters here. 3:18 the bluish-greyish apartment building used to not be there. It used to be a cute tiny house. We called it grandma besl's, and it was beautiful in the winter. It even had christmas lights and even the yard was decorated and had santa. Eventually it went from that to red balloon day care which was many for babies. Now it is the apartments. 3:39 Hixton house. There is a decent amount of history.

Also the pearl has the best ice cream

[@thedailybench2527]

Didn’t include any shots of grandad bluff park? That’s like a staple destination!! Although nice facts to know

[@CM-mz3qy]

I live in La Crosse - the friendship gardens are beautiful and free. Buzzard Billies is delicious and the Pearl has amazing ice cream

[@spacetrucker2196]

man I saw those for the first time this summer. I was blown away.

[@spacetrucker2196]

Leithholds music is worth checking out. It used to be a steamboat company. You can go up a massive stair case made of hardwood and check out some of the upstairs. Just ask. The hardware store on the same block is still one of the old hardware stores and worth checking out too. The new friendship garden at riverside park is outstanding.

We just stopped in LaCrosse for the night, so we didn’t have much of a chance to walk around. Just took a spin around town and hit the road. It looks like an interesting city to explore on foot.

[@karenfreund208]

Lived there 81 to 83 loved it.

[@cikokustamsi1453]

I lived here in 2012. I love it.

[@dalejensen5828]

Sure has changed since the 1970's when I was young and visited various establishments. Good to see Howies (5:53) is still there.

I went back relatively recently, maybe 5 or so years ago now to get my birth certificate, Deaf Earrecords is a shell of it's former self :(

[@savannahcampbell1669]

I Never Trip To LA CROSSE WI Yet Before and they have shopping malls, restraurants, movie theaters and many more

[@RichardFelstead1949]

Too many (La) Cross(e) streets ........................I'll see myself out. Great video as always Jason.

[@504RoadTrips]

That's a "dad" joke if I ever heard one! Thanks for watching, as always!

[@benparsification]

Hey I live here!

[@swatts2121]

Would this be a good family town?

[@504RoadTrips]

I don’t know. But it’s a college town, so maybe not. Maybe someone from Lacrosse could try to answer.

[@donavanjohnson409]

Nice lookin town in Wisconsin

I’m looking to move. Show me more!

What! did we miss the worlds largest six pack. You were so close!

We covered that in our US-61 series. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWbIkHinpbKrhJo

@@504RoadTrips whew! That's import to us. back in the 70's all the kids toured the brewery as part of school science class.

[@504RoadTrips]

@@spacetrucker2196 I’m sure. We had a number of breweries in New Orleans (Dixie, Jax and Falstaff) but I think they all stopped operations here by the 60s.

LA CROSSE COUNTY IS A GOOD DRIVE

[@bobknull7502]

You only went by 5 of the 16 Kwik Trips in LaCrosse. Not an exaggeration. But you hit 3 more in the next video.

[@504RoadTrips]

And a dozen more as we travel south through the rest of US-61 in Wisconsin.

[@bobknull7502]

OrganicValley is based in LaFarge Wi. Not LaCrosse.

[@504RoadTrips]

La Crosse “area”, although La Farge is 60 miles from La Crosse. I guess they make that claim because it’s the closest city.

[@bobknull7502]

@@504RoadTrips The company doesn't claim that. Where they are based is right on their website....LaFarge

Look at your house from Grandad 's with Binoculars

[@sandakramo3ash]

Very boring twon

[@2007CamryToyota]

Considering all those police cam videos maybe not so much

[@504RoadTrips]

I've been watching some of those. During our brief stay there, it just seemed to mostly be a college town with a lot of bars. But alcohol combined with young people tends to result in a lot of police activity.
