There are several other pro shops in Chicago.  Its not that big an issue in terms of getting stuff.  Repair or rental return seems a bigger issue.

"...what happens when the only go-to place for a certain hobby or profession of yours simply vanishes overnight?

"That�s the situation in which countless patrons of the 75-year-old Chicago-based photography chain Calumet Photographic were placed Thursday after the company declared Chapter 7 bankruptcy (the liquidation kind) and immediately shuttered all of its U.S. locations. (Calumet�s total number of American outlets is unclear, but the Chicago area had two of them: one in the city on North Cherry and another in Oak Brook.)

"Consequently, equipment under repair cannot be retrieved, rentals cannot be returned and those who depended on Calumet for their livelihoods (employees and patrons alike) must figure out another option � and fast."
