It seems like everything is closing in this world. Where I live, it'll end up with no physical stores for me to shop at. And I don't really like shopping online. I like to see what I'm getting, plus I'll bet the online stores that are putting out all the little Mom and Pop stores around my area, are creating a lot of unemployment. Those Mom and Pops still like to eat, but are losing their livelihood. People aren't going to like it when they have no physical stores to shop at if the power should go off or the internet gets shut down. That wouldn't be very convenient, would it?

I just found out the other day that the drugstore where I get all my prints made has closed. I passed by where they used to be and there was just an empty building - no trace of what used to be inside it. I develop all my own film, but I don't have an enlarger to make any prints, so I need places like Walgreens Drugstore, which closed suddenly, to get my prints done.

With film and analogue camera shops closing, your photograph will be a testament of what a great loss that is!

Thanks, Scott! Well, I do have over 300 rolls of film stocked up in my freezer, (135, 120, 110, 127, 126, disc film, 16mm and some Polaroid instant film) and plenty of film developing chemicals, so I can hold out a little bit longer! Ha ha.

Have you ever read "The Machine Stops, a short story by by E. M. Forster? Forster wrote it in 1928, but he anticipated how serious problems like this could get.

I'm familiar with the author, but can't remember if I ever read that story. I'll have to look it up! Thanks.
