A sad day, indeed. Another blow to the small businesses of the world. It sure is nice to go into a place, and be known by a first name basis, and be treated as someone special. Not that such things can't happen when one brings one's film into Walmart. And not that all "mom and pop" businesses treat one properly, but few of them last 50 years if they aren't doing something right.
I guess you can't do anything about reviving the business, but I sure hope you get your LX back (and wouldn't it be nice if it were repaired!).
