COOL NEW PLACES Driftless IN THE

THINGS ARE HAPPENIN’ IN LA CROSSE!

Our friends at The Pearl Ice Cream Shop have continued their traditions of candy and ice cream favorites for decades now. Next door is Drift Mercantile, run by sisters Azia Thelemann and Dani Peterslie (read more about them in this issue’s Sum of Your Business Q&A). If you’ve ever perused the shop, you know the unique selection is definitely worth the gander. And it turns out Azia and Dani are opening a new store this spring – this one in Onalaska, with a bigger focus on clothing. Keeper Goods, “a Midwest lifestyle boutique,” will be located at 330 Main St in downtown Onalaska. Keep up with the details at @ driftmercantile

Pizzeria Dolorosa – at 115 4th St N in La Crosse – has joined the scene just this spring. Their beautiful three-day fermented dough sets the base for some delicious pizza pies. Swing by and check them out in the Rivoli Theatre Building! pizzeriadolorosa.com

Red Clover Ranch

While you’re over in Driftless Wisconsin, check out the idyllic setting for Red Clover Ranch, just outside of Soldiers Grove. Owner Annie Coleman is bringing something really special to life. She’s been renovating the buildings and hosting creative gatherings on the property ever since she bought it in 2009. These gatherings spawned the realization that Red Clover Ranch should be a place where people can find community, creativity, and nature. Along with partners like Dani Lind (of Rooted Spoon fame in Viroqua), Annie is creating an almost 80-acre paradise in Southwest Wisconsin. The property will host gatherings, lodging, retreats, weddings and events, catering, and more. Check it all out redcloverranch.com
