Let's rebuild!

[Central Camera Co. @CentralCameraCo]

We’re going to rebuild Central Camera Company & make it just as good or better, as Don said. It’s hard to see our store in flames after over 121 years, but it doesn’t compare to Black lives being lost. If you want to help rebuild CCC here’s our GFM https://t.co/0aX3gQiSXm

@DanglinDon We miss seeing you too! Stop on by the temp space since I am thinking you might need to restock on some Ektar.

[Central Camera Co. @CentralCameraCo]

@ShittyChallenge @CentralCamera Technically both, but @CentralCameraCo is our only current and official handle. The @CentralCamera was last used in 2011 and no one knows what the login info is anymore... I was here then and I don't even remember who was running it.

A frequent lunch spot for many of our employees. Our heart goes out to all local businesses affected by this pandemic.

The pandemic hit hard nearly one year ago.

Today I got off the phone with my dad and found out after nearly 30 years of business his Chicago institution Max's Take Out is closing. I am devastated.

@CentralCameraCo Interview on WBBM this morning with Don Flesch, Central's president- brief and talking about potential for re-opening in either June or July. Stop by the temporary location next door! Thank you for shopping with us at Central Camera Company! 🎥📹📹📷

[Jake Austen @JAKEandRATSO]

Dropped off five disposable cameras that were possibly 15 years old, totally mystery contents. Will let you know in a week and a half. Thanks @CentralCameraCo !
