How cool is this? A rare (in this shape) Canon acquisition.

Dec 31, 2011 5:22AM PST

So here I am at a Christmas Eve gathering in Denver, 1500 miles from home, trying to strike up a conversation about my pending dSLR purchase with anyone who will listen, when I meet a complete stranger from Texas.
We talk digital and then proceed down memory lane. I talk about my once prized SRT101 that met its death falling off the roof of my '87 Oldsmobile. He counters with talk of his Canon AE1 outfit.
It's a Christmas miracle!!! Out of thin air he offers me his "mint and just last year professionally refurbished" AE1 three lens and two flash outfit.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!!!
It ships to me next Tuesday and I'm sooooo excited. I offered to purchase it, and he said he would only gift it to a person who would use and appreciate it.
After some cursory research locally, I'm now discovering that very few sources even carry 35mm film, let alone process it for prints or slides.<b><i>
I see I can order Kodak or Fuji on line without any problem, but where can I have it processed locally??? I guess I'm hoping to find a national drug or discount store, or electronics store chain where I can drop it off just like ol' times.
Thanks a million for any suggestions!!!

I don't work at Walmart so I can't answer. You may have to go there once.
