Can you recommend a photo shop in Des Moines, Iowa that stocks darkroom chemicals?

I will be in the Des Moines area in the next few weeks and I like to check out any photography shops that sell black and white chemistry and used film gear. Any recommendations?

Christian Photo, it's been years since I've been there. They still sell used film cameras. I'm sure they still have a bit of chemistry. University Camera in Iowa City (100 miles East ) Still has all kinds of stuff. Pretty ordinary developers and sundries.

If you are coming from the west there's also Rockbrook in Omaha, NE and a camera show/swap on Sunday May 7.

Been about four years since I've been that way, but Alexander's in West Des Moines was stocking film supplies.

Thanks, All. I went to Christian Photo and picked up a nice used Manfrotto head for an older tripod for $25!
