Parsons Kansas is home to the last Kodachrome Film Lab. Back in June I made a post Good Bye Kodachrome reporting that  Kodak is ending its 74 years producing the iconic Kodachrome slide film. On Friday November 27th Bob Dotson on the Today Show profiles how the end of Kodachrome leaves it’s effect on the small town of Parsons Kansas, home to the last remaining lab for processing this great discontinued film.

“Half a century ago, 2,000 film labs processed Kodachrome in the United States. Now, Dwayne’s Photo in tiny Parsons, Kansas, is the last one — in the entire world.”

You can read a transcript of the story on the MSNBC.com site and watch the video report below. It’s a nice tribute to Kodachrome, the import role it played in allowing us to see our world in color for the first time, and how it’s end will affect Parsons and it’s residents.
