At this point I really hope the owner changes names so they can move on. They can still focus on the food from this time period and present it in a positive light "all the evil that went down with Colonialism...but damn some delicious food came out of it!"

And it's off to the Atwood building for them. Congrats to Jim Gottstein and Judge McKay. There is plenty of room for Anchorage's legislators there.
