Home. It is almost for free: 7ml of APH09 for 2 films- cost per film is around 5 cents for developer, and 5 cents for fixer.
Where do you get your film developed?

My black and white is generally done at home, unless I develop a backlog. When that happens, I head into downtown Vancouver and drop off a bag-o-film off at The Lab.
Until recently, with the return of the Northern peso, I had been sending my 35mm E6 to Dwayne's (in bulk, for cost effectiveness) and had the folks at The Lab do my 120 (price is competitive with Dwayne's). With the CDN dollar hovering around $.76 USD, the Lab will be doing my 35mm E6 as well (fingers are crossed that the folks there are amenable to a volume discount (another 45-50 rolls in the freezer sitting in the queue).

Processed in the kitchen in stainless steel tanks or in the Jobo processor.
Enlargement and print drying is done in one of the bedrooms and the paper is developed in a bathroom.
From large format to 35mm at home, using mostly Paterson tanks for both B&W and C41.
C41 is just as easy as B&W and processing it yourself is much cheaper than a pro lab. I use a Tetenal C41 kit, other kits are available.

B&W in my bathroom. I just started C-41 and don't quite trust myself yet, so most of it still goes to Mike's here in Denver for developing and scan to CD. Either one comes to about $1-1.50 a roll at home. If you can make Kraft Mac-n-Cheese from a box, you can process film.

It is a Canadian thing

as 99% of respondents have written, processing your own film ensures quick and safe results. I also process traditional monochome in the bathroom. The chemistry is inexpensive and turn-around is quick.
however, speaking to your question: if you want to send out your film (eg. C-41 or E-6) I well-recommend Holland Photo in Austin, TX USA. They follow instructions and perform all expected services at very reasonable cost. See their website for price lists. (I send film to Austin rather than take it to any place remaining in Chicago...)

No, but one that is at least reasonably dark helps.
Or a changing bag.

Not really. All you need is a changing bag and the rest can take place in broad daylight.

Yep a changing bag makes things much easier when you don't have any rooms without windows and don't feel like waiting until it's dark outside.
Changing bags eliminate the need for dedicated darkroom space.
Yup. Load the reels in the bag and do it in the bathroom.
I've always done my own black & white.
There is a camera shop here in Fort Worth that does C-41 and E-6 but I have recently gone back to doing that myself too.. I get my chemicals from Freestyle..

Just havin' a little fun so don't take it personal, but, you don't quite trust yourself making Mac & Cheese?

And here I thought that the Canadian thing was going to Canadian Tire every Saturday morning even or especially if one does not need tires.

For you people that do your own color: Is there a color darkroom data guide similar to the B/W guide from the Great Yellow Father back 20 or so years ago? I've home processed B/W since the 1960's, & I know you say that it's as easy as falling off a log, but I'm just a little confused with Jobo, Tetenal, blix, 102 F, all these unfamiliar words & terms. A data guide would help.
Oh, I do B/W myself, D-76 or HC-110, & take the C-41 to Tempe Camera in Tempe. I think I'll try out Wilson's, now that I know they're still around.

Hmmm. I may need to re-think this.
Yep, there are color data guides; mine's from 1989. I'm sure there are more recent ones available.
Home processing Black and White. I dont shoot colour and I have done my own film at home for the last 30 years.
