Moving to the area soon. We have three kids, so keeping that in mind…

Which areas are the nicest/friendliest/best for kids?

Taking into account crime, schools, neighborhoods… Which parts of la crosse should I avoid? Also considering Onalaska area as well. Thoughts on French island pfas contamination??

Thanks!!

Has anyone had a level 2 charging station installed at their home? I'm considering an EV and wondering how much the install costs and if theres anyone you would recommend to do it?

I have been going to a relatively popular quilt shop in town for years but over the past few months the vibe has changed a lot. I thought it was just me for awhile until some friends visited and we went together. Almost as soon as we left they said they felt heavily judged by the employees. One friend said she felt as though the 2 people behind the counter were snickering about her fabric choices. The other said she overheard an employee speaking negatively about a quilt they had for longarming. Not every visit has felt this way, but as of late I have found myself dreading needing something for a project for fear of being judged.

Overall, it's saddening to feel this way of a place I once thought of as my happy place. I hope other people have better experiences.

Hello, like the title says. I just recently bought a house and would like to change the locks. I need three locks changed and three new keys made.

Does anybody have any recommendations of locksmiths in the Lacrosse, Onalaska, or Holman area? I am looking for great service with a great price. I am also looking for experiences you’ve had with certain companies as well.

Hello! I am curious if there are people in the La Crosse and surrounding area who are intrigued by the unusual or the weirdosphere of life? Any (non-cult like) groups who gather to discuss what may lie behind "the veil" or history of the unexplainable? I'm not a social media fan. Reddit is my go to for connecting with others who have similar interests, otherwise I generally muse independently. But, in a radical revolution, meeting up with others might be enlightening

I live near moxie’s and I know this summer they have a lot of live music. Any recs for local bands I should for sure try to see? Or any that aren’t great and not worth my time? I like most genres, but not anything super heavy.

I'm in the market for new employment and I smoke a little pot. Not even recreationally..... mostly just a hit or two at night to help me sleep. Does anyone know if they drug test for Marijuana for support staff (office, kitchen, custodial, residential assistant) at:

Western Tech College

Bethany St Joe

Eagle Crest

Gundersen

I already know they don't at Kwik Trip.

Any nurse or CNA have experience working at BSJ care center? Is it a good place to work or no?

I’m a semi frequent recreational user of THC but have stopped since starting my job search. Despite this, I’m still curious of any local employers that don’t test for hiring

Hello, my partner and I recently moved into a duplex and we have several cats, our landlord decided right after us living in the duplex that he wanted to sell the house, including the upper and lower duplex. The landlord has a relator that has stopped by and we communicated that we have animals and to be careful during showings, my partner came home early from work last night and saw that a different relator had been doing a showing and had left the back door wide open, luckily the cats were scared and didn’t try to bolt. I’m curious what our rights are while this is happening to us, I’ve never dealt with this before from a landlord and I don’t know who to speak to about following up with about our animals almost being let out-and if one of my cats were to escape would I be able to file a police report? My partner and I both work full time jobs and we are unable to take off work for every showing they have so far. I just don’t know my options and any advice would be helpful! Thank you.

Sometimes it can feel hard to make a friend group that isn’t centered around drinking and partying when on a campus.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m okay with occasionally having alcohol, but I’m usually the type of person who wants to be doing it with a closer group of people while playing drinking games - and not necessarily every single weekend.

I’m just trying to find likeminded people to hang out with consistently. Watching shows, going out to eat, going on walks / maybe getting into hiking, or just chilling in general. I game aswell and if there’s any other women here who do I’d love to become friends. I’m a big FPS player (valorant, CS2, etc)

HMU if you feel similarly or if any of our interests overlap. I’m 22 FYI
