One hour film labs are still pretty common in the USA. Santa Fe is a really
small town considering that it's the oldest city in the US and is a state
capital. There's 65,000 people here and I can think of 7 one hour labs just
off the top of my head. There's a Walmart, a Sam's Club, 3 Walgreens drug
stores, a CVS drug store, and a locally owned place. There used to be 2
local places but the elderly owner of the second one decided to retire so it
closed up. He had been pretty busy before retiring, so I don't think
digital played a role..he was just old and wanted to quit working.
