That's where I normally go actually, and it's usually my favorite place in the world (I say usually because sometimes there's a guy who works there who eyeballs me like I'm trying to steal something). I like to try different places every so often though.
That reminds me...I should have some processed Ektar to pick up from Central any day now.
And believe it or not, there is only RIT (AFAIK) for analog products in Rochester!!!

I don't understand why Calumet's European operations haven't been effected .

The eastman house museum store sells pretty much everything from chemicals to film (perhaps even paper?)
This is a shame for photography in general, at least here in the Washington DC area. I've occasionally dropped into the Penn Camera shop (owned by Calumet) over by Tysons Corner; it used to be that Penn would take trades and so have some used gear for sale, but that vanished in large part when Calumet took over and focused nearly entirely on digital. Their supplies of chemistry dropped to near nothing, so I no longer had much interest in going in. But they did have items that could be used by either analog or digital photographers: carry bags, backgrounds, lighting, etc. What's kind of odd is that the Metro has been extended to go through Tysons Corner and one of the stops is directly in front of Penn Camera there, so if it were still in business when the Metro line opens it would have stood a good chance of increased foot traffic. I can't now think of many other camera stores in the area I'll be visiting.
The Eastman House store sells T=Shirts, Books, Hats and Movie Posters among other things, but no photographic items at all. In the basement, in the labs it is a different story.
AFAIK, Kodak is frankly indifferent to the situation regarding camera stores in Rochester. Rowe Photo is all digital now.

Don't forget the collection of toy cameras like Diana's and holgas.
