Subject: [Leica] leica in Peoria.....

I grew up in amidst the corn fields of Central IL about 40 minutes from
Peoria...  I can only remember seeing one Leica in the camera stores
there... an R-4...   Many of the camera stores in Peoria are no longer
around...  Camera and Lens and Peoria Camera and Rex Photo were the big ones
and they are in the old downtown area..... and it's not very big to begin
with in comparison to Chicago...  But...  a whole lot more exciting than
everything else around....

 I'd suggest you phone the stores first when you get in to Peoria though to
see what they have...

The best photo lab in Peoria is the Cat Lab..... in-house and out-house lab
for Caterpillar.... which makes up most of Peoria anyhow...
