Is that 100,000 the total poulation ot just that not in a coma? Our MSA is
about a half million, and we used to have three or four good pro labs here
to support our economy based on making things rather than based on changing
adult diapers, and now we are down to one. The have a did and dunk line for
E6, C41, and BW(Xtol), but are just making runs three days a week. Still, I
know the owner, and if they fouldn't make money, he would scrap the lines
now. Enough stereotyping about Florida for now.

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.
