Anchorage, sandwiched between Canada and Russia, is one of the U.S.’s most diverse cities with a significant number of immigrants from troubled nations such as Somalia, Democratic Republic of Congo and Bhutan relocating there. Attracted by the cleanest air and most park acres per person of any city in the U.S., some have started businesses, including restaurants serving authentic food from their homelands, through a local incentive program that offers millions in loans to small businesses.
