Remember when these were in parking lots?
“The Fotomat, first opened in 1965, combined two American loves: amateur photography and the drive-thru. What could be easier? Simply pull up to that distinctive Fotomat booth and drop your film off. The film would then travel to a central processing facility and the prints sent back to the Fotomat for you to pick up at your leisure. How long would a process like this take, you may ask? Well, check the banner in the photo above: They’re offering One Day Photo Finishing. Drop it off today, get it back tomorrow!” – derspatchel
Wow. What will they think of next?
