Remember Fotomat? Remember when drug stores would develop film? Believe it or not, there are still 23,853 photo processors in the United States.
Walgreen’s still develops film. I had an old Instamatic (remember that?) that I still used before I got a digital camera, and I found a film cartridge that I never had developed. Of course, I just asked them to put the pictures on a disk. But they did process the negatives, too.
Up here, in Allentown, there was a Fotomat at 15th and Adams Streets. When Fotomat went out of business, the old booth was used by an enterprising hoagie vendor as a drive-up location. It was a hot dog stand, and then it was used by Vince’s, our version of Pat’s Steaks. He has a lunch counter, but made that his remote location. I thought that was clever use of the old facility.
