JDMvW Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Really tragic. These were good guys. A lot of the stock was original old stuff "new in box" that can never be replaced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmac Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Very sad, hope the stock was insured. "Since 1899" ... if only that shop could talk ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommarcus Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 is it even worth rebuilding since so much original equipment was lost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Naka Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Today, it might be best to take the insurance money and go do something else. It is pretty hard for a B&M store to fight low overhead internet warehouses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_shriver Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 The art schools in Chicago provide a steady demand for photographic consumables, which allow Central Camera to live in a fortuitous time warp. Also, lots of photo chemistry is hard to get delivered by USPS or UPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato Tonelli Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 It's a real shame. I hope he can bring it back and survive. I went there every time I visited Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
