Yes, bad news however Kodak has not process Kodachrome in several years.
This work was transferred to Dwaynes Photo in Parsons Kansas and they will
still continue to process Kodachrome along with Fuji slide film.
Do an internet search (_www.dogpile.com_ (http://www.dogpile.com) ) and you
can get their URL and telephone number and web site. Unfortunally you will
have to mail the film to Dwaynes via U.S. Mail or if you have a lot, FedEx.
I have been taking my slide film to CVS Drugstores, they ship to to Qualex
who sends it to Dwaynes who processes it than returned to me via reverse
route. Cost is $5.99 ($6.35 w/ tax). Turn around has been seven days. Of
course the last roll they processed had a very nice scratch in it otherwise I
have had good luck with them and they speak english.

N&W Group,
We recieved notification today at work [CVS]... that Kodak... (a.k.a.
Qualex) will be suspending film processing effective March 31, 2009. Kodak
handles all the send out processing for department and drug stores in the United
States and I believe they are the last firm still processing slide film.
What this means is if you are like me and always have 8-10 rolls of slide film
in the refrigerator, consider this "fair warning" to use it up if you are
going to need slide documentation of something N&W in the future. This might be a
good time to go out and shoot those remaining buildings, bridges and signals
while you can get the film processed. And now it looks like Bob Bowers will
finally have to join the instant gratification (digital) generation.
Sorry for the bad news,
Mason Cooper
