I discovered Blue Moon several years ago when I began shooting Minox cameras.
They are about the only place that I know of where you can send Minox film for
processing. They sell film and cassettes and such as well. I did not realize
they were strictly a film based business.
If I ever make it out there I will certainly have to check them out.
There is another place in Atlanta - Old School Photo - that sounds like this.
They buy and sell film gear, offer darkroom classes, and rent studio space. I
have not been there yet but they are on my list of places to see on my next
visit to Atlanta.
