[Leica] RIP - A sad note re survival of film and traditionalism

[r.s.taylor at comcast.net (Richard S. Taylor)]

An yes, spent a buck or two in there myself.  Had all my Tri-X 
processed there in the 1970's.  Always fun to see what used gear was 
for sale when ever I walked by and bought more than a few cameras 
from them in that era, too. Will miss them.

Tower Records closing, too.  Done in presumably by on-line stores. 
Will miss browsing the stacks.  Can't really browse effectively on 
the web.  There's something about web pages that precludes 
serendipity.

Say a prayer for my local independent C-41 processing lab, too.  His 
processed film racks are emptier every time I go in there..
