Argon,
One place in Chicago that still has a lot of stuff sitting back on dusty old
shelves is Central Camera on Wabash, near Columbia College—in fact they offer
discounts and stock a lot of supplies for the students from Columbia. I am
sure they might stock some of the darkroom aids. For marital aids, you have
to go up on Halstead to.... hehehehe just kidding.
