Just learned my local drugstore still develops Super 8 film, which blew my mind

I was asking about 35mm at the counter in Asheville and the clerk casually mentioned they send the old movie reels out every Tuesday. Has anyone else found a totally random place that still handles a niche film format?

That clerk is basically a time traveler at this point.

My local hardware store still uses a DOS system, @oliver242, and it feels like stepping into 1995 every time.

That's the kind of service you find in a town that still has a proper main street. It's like a secret handshake for people who refuse to let old tech die. I'm half expecting them to offer VHS transfers next.

Wait, super 8 is movie film, not still photos. That's a different thing from 35mm film for cameras. Still wild they do it though.
