REVIEW: Imperial Palace
“I hadn’t been to the Imperial Palace for years, mainly because of its location. The restaurant is just off Merrill Field, tucked in a place surrounded by a couple of low-budget motels, a strip club and an adult novelty shop. Not the best of neighbors.” - Melissa Campbell, Alaska Journal of Commerce

Welcome
Anchorage was established in 1914 as a railroad construction port for the Alaska Railroad, which was built between 1915 and 1923. Ship Creek Landing, where the railroad headquarters was located, quickly became a tent city; Anchorage was incorporated on November 23, 1920. The city’s economy in the 1920s centered around the railroad. Between the 1930s and the 1950s, the city experienced massive growth as air transportation and the military became increasingly important. Merrill Field opened in 1930, and Anchorage International Airport opened in 1951. Elmendorf Air Force Base and Fort Richardson were constructed in the 1940s. - Wikipedia.org
