[Leica] Camera Shops in Chicago

[h_arche at yahoo.com (H. Ball Arche)]

I used to spend time there back in the '80's. It's where traded in my first 
Leica (IIIf)to upgrade to the M2, DR summi, and Star-D tripod I'm still 
using. Part of the reason for spending hours in that cave was it took that 
long to get a salesman to deal with me. I guess I looked too much the part 
of a scruffy broke art student.
