Where to process B&W film?

Loc: Baton Rouge, LA
I was examining my collection of old gear and found an almost fully shot roll of B&W film in a Nikon FM body. Any recommendations on where to process it? Its likely to contain baby photos, from about 30 years ago. I used to process B&W myself, but reestablishing a darkroom for one roll would be too expensive.

Find out where the Vivian Meyer film was developed and take it there!

I'd be surprised if Baton Rouge doesn't have at least one film processing lab. Check your Yellow Pages.

Yikes, I knew my spelling was probably wrong but I hoped it would be closer than that.
And yes, that film is a treasure.
Edit: double meaning on "that film" unintended but I really like it!

Yes, The Darkroom.....but let them know the film is 30 years old. I've processed Verichrome that was shot in 1959 and got weak but okay photos that were viewable. But Plus X from the late 70's came out blank. But that was usually rolls left in someones drawer or garage. Old film left in old cameras always seem to come out.....cameras usually are taken care of better. But...let them know anyway... Nyms

My darkroom is a tank and chemicalss for b/w and then I scan the negatives.

Dwayne's Photo, Parson's KS -- Been around for long time.
Or,
Ilford Labs (I just started using them. Will do traditional develop of film and scan, and also do traditional B&W silver halide printing, either from the negative or from an adjusted file you send.)
Both good

Don't need a whole dark room. Just a light tight bag. Once the film is in the tank, all you need are the chemicals. which ar available at B&H
