Valdez Alaska Recounts Boom Years Amid Pipeline lore
In January 1976 Valdez, Alaska, transitions from a rough boomtown to a tourist hub as Trans Alaska pipeline lore lingers. Construction crews and sex workers flocked to the end of the 800 mile line while Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. drove development and notoriety.
