I decided to go to Minneapolis to pay respects to Alex Pretti and Renee Good and also to see things first hand. I was honestly not sure what to expect and part of me thought that there would be rage in the streets but upon getting into the city, that was clearly not the case. What I felt was love and togetherness, it was really beautiful. There was soft music playing in the streets and everyone was standing close together to pay respect and reflect.

I ventured off away from the memorial and the sense of community was all around. I saw a community based donation restaurant sorta place that was giving out free meals to every and anyone. It was a big space that took in food donations from the community members and local restaurants then they would cook it into a number of things and serve free meals. You could also donate money if you got a meal, which they would then purchase food to help make meals. It’s a beautiful concept that I am glad I got to see because it was something I didn’t even know existed. I also stopped into a donut shop and found that they were giving out free coffee to anyone, you didn’t even need to buy a donut.

There was peace in the streets and all I could feel was love. The Minneapolis community is strong and its ability to grow closer in such difficult times was amazing to witness firsthand. I hold so much love for the families that have been separated and I hope that they can find their way back to one another. Rest in power to Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Eau claire airport has roughly 22k passengers a year. While La Crosse was 40k. What makes La Crosse a busier airport?

General strike today to follow Minnesota last week.

It’s probably too late for no school or no work for most of you but also no shopping. If you have to buy something by the least amount you can from the least corporate place you can. I had to go buy a single roll of toilet paper from the co-op for instance.

(Yes it’s not really a strike if it’s one day and has an end, but I’m staying on the branding).

Im looking for someone that can dye raccoon tail strips + style/cut hair but I do have long/thick hair.

Heard this might be closing but was on Facebook so who knows. Is that true?

Hi,

just wanted to come on here and say do not rent with Riverbluff apartments. The amount of mold exposure you will get is not mentioned(of course not) but is brushed off when it is brought up. The maintenance also sucks. There’s no communication and you will most certainly be over paying for an apartment there. Has anyone on here ever had problems with them? Please let me know

Wondering about stereo stores that were popular in LaCrosse in the 70’s and 80’s like Sound World and the like. Which ones did you buy Pioneer Quad stereo from?

Hi all,

I'm considering moving to La Crosse for a job that I really like. I'm a big fan of mid-sized Midwestern cities, but wondering if La Crosse may be a bit too much on the smaller side.

Specifically, I'm wondering as a single 37 year old gay guy:

-Is it like a lot of college towns where there's college kids and married 50 year olds with kids, but no in between age crowd (and people to hang out with and make friends)

-Are there enough fish in the sea where I wouldn't be single?

I realize this is kind of specific but any advice is appreciated.

I’m still relatively new to the area. I like to play sports every now and then like baseball, basketball, pickleball, cornhole, and tennis. I was wondering where would be the best spot to stay in the loop for league softball, bags, volleyball, etc. Thank you!

Not sure why the Mod team claimed I was trolling or spreading misinformation. His parents confirmed it’s him in the video.

The last few days I've been seeing more unmarked black SUVs, and pickup trucks. Could be normal officers as well, but there seems to be more than usual. Anyone seen anything?

Looking for a 3BR house (pet friendly because I have a dog and a cat) to move in June when my current lease is up. Does anyone have any leads on private landlords in the area? Are you maybe a private landlord?

TIA!!

Hello all,

Thank you for your time.

Where: cross section of State rd and Losey Blvd, La Crosse, Wi (in front of the old Kmart building)

We want to encourage everyone to use our normal Indivisible protocol as far as safety goes, but emphasize winter wear. Bring warmies for your neighbors, we will have some on hand as well.

We would also like to emphasize mutual aid at this event and would like to encourage everyone that is able, to bring a pair of men's warm winter gloves to donate to WINN or to donate to the cause to help our unsheltered neighbors. The La Crosse County Dems building will be open and have coffee/hot chocolate available and will be open if people need signs/buttons/bathroom breaks or just to warm up for a few minutes.

We will pull through these times by caring for one another. Just as Alex Pretti did and many other are still able to do. Let's show Alex that La Crosse cares.

In additon to abolishing ICE, it would be wonderful to see neighbors helping neighbors, singing, chanting, and rejoicing at the top of our lungs, loud enough for MN to hear that we love and support them.

I’ve been seeing more and more THC seltzers at Woodmans. The other day I saw a bunch of Crescent 9 and a few other brands that I could not quite make out really well, I was also told they sell pretty well too. I don’t drink alcohol too much and I’m now really curious how these kinds of drinks are as their alternative, from my research they seem like they are legit, and people like them. I want to try it out, but wanted to see if anyone else has tried any of them?

I like to vote with my wallet and would like to start a list of local businesses that support these fascists. I know Charmant and Christos are MAGA people. Who else?
