Yesterday in La Crosse
Logistics Health was working on Building #2, 11 years ago
In 2007, Logistics was making plans for a second office building, to the south of the building that had recently replaced Piggy’s Restaurant along Front Street. The proposed ‘Riverside Center Two’ would be six stories tall, and cost $12 million. The company was expected to start construction that summer.
During April of ’07, Sanford Hall at UW-L had to be evacuated for three hours, because of a bomb threat. The threat was written in a bathroom inside that dorm near the football stadium. The incident at Sanford happened within days of a mass shooting at Virginia Tech.
Gas prices were climbing close to $3 a gallon. The pump price in La Crosse was $2.84, compared to $2.79 in La Crescent, but still below the national average of $2.87. That was 11 years ago, 2007, yesterday in La Crosse.
