Camera shop moves uptown

The Camera Shop of Hanover will move up the street early next month into the space between Murphy's Tavern restaurant and The Dartmouth Co-Op.

Owner Oscar Romero '69 said the new location at 15 South Main Street has two advantagesover its current location at 47-51 S. Main Street:a larger space and closer proximity to the campus.

The move, which will take place Aug. 2, will allow for an expanded showroom and will include a larger audio department and a larger photo finishing machine that will speed up film processing.

"I'm very happy to be closer to Dartmouth and to the students. I'll be able to give better service, which will be good for my customers," Romero said.

Romero bought the store from his in-laws, Emil and Elizabeth Rueb, in 1986.

Romero said he plans on having a grand opening party at the end of September when more students return to campus.
