Losey
Boulevard South and Ward Avenue looking north, 2003 This intersection has gone through dramatic development changes since 1970. The McDonald’s Restaurant has moved to the west side of Losey Boulevard South. The Trane Federal Credit Union building now stands in its place. The gas station on the southeast corner, Frank-Len service station, had recently closed by the time this photo was taken. A month later, the building was torn down. In 2003, there are fewer than ten service stations listed in the La Crosse telephone book. The Trane Company has built a large plant on the northwest corner. Losey Boulevard remains a four-lane street. |
