With the drop in film business, a nearby lab closed its doors and
liquidated.  Massive print driers, mixing barrels, and a room full of
wedding albums and cardboard frames tell of a more prosperous time.
Strange unidentifiable machines scattered around workbenches, shelves of
unopened bulk chemicals and outdated film tell a different story.  There
is a dungeon of sorts with optical minilabs for 6x6 and 35mm tucked into
little rooms, still loaded with paper.  Old enlarger lenses on boards lay
about with boxes of miscellaneous reels and junk waiting to be picked up
for next to nothing.

It marks a passing of an era here.  Other labs will pick up the slack, but
how long before they too fall prey to the changes in this industry?
