Remember: Fotomat

This photo, posted by my fellow blogger kenneth in the (212), takes me back to my childhood.

I remember when these were everywhere, all over Fort Worth, my hometown.

I laugh thinking of my high school friend Lisa Priddy who worked for Fotomat.  She used to tell customers that there was a huge facility underneath the street level where all the rolls of film were developed and pics were printed.

Ah, good times...
