The population of the county is about 100,000. There is no place to
even buy a camera other than the large discount stores such as Best Buy,
Walmart and Target. The only places I knew of that processed film in
any form were Walmart and Target and perhaps a couple of drug stores but
there may be places I don't know of. Wait! I just looked in the Yellow
Pages and see there's a place about 5 miles away advertising "photo
finishing". I'll have to check them out.
