La Crosse

La Crosse, Wisconsin, lies on the banks of the Mississippi River. The largest city on the western border of the state, La Crosse has a population of just north of 50,000, with a good portion of these residents going to University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, a highly rated university that attracts some of the best and brightest minds in the state. To understand life in La Crosse, it’s important to understand its industry. Several noteworthy companies call La Crosse home, including the Trane Air Conditioning Company, City Brewing Company, and Kwik Trip. This is in addition to a number of other companies who manufacture and distribute products all over the world. All of these companies make up a large part of the local economy. This makes La Crosse much more communal than many cities.
