  1. This is an alternate pronunciation for "creek". Older residents of La Crosse tend to prefer this way of saying it. The word wouldn't be so apparent in the city if Pammel Creek weren't one of the main natural features. Actually, ever since the controversial Pammel Creek project, in which the city dug the creek a lot wider and deeper with huge concrete barriers, the "crick" is decidedly less "natural".
