From recommendation from Tony, I went to Colonial Photo and Hobby, just to check it out. Was a really small store with one half hobby and the other photo-related stuff. Pretty cramped, but really nice british salesman that I talked to.

Here is their web site. It gives some idea of their size. http://www.colonialphotohobby.com/index.htm

This shows a bit more: http://www.colonialphotohobby.com/layout.htm The total number of square feet in the store is 15,000. At any given time, there are four or five knowledgeable sales assistants behind the counter, and Don Rausch (the owner) routinely walks through the shelf area and asks people if they need assistance.

Actually, I am sorry that Jonas was not pleased with the store. I do try to provide information about this city, and specialty information if requested, to any visitors. I rather suspected that nothing I recommended would be favorably commented on here, though. I was certainly not surprised to not to see a "Thanks for the information" about the information about the store and the directions. Someone with a bit more class would have done so.
