Looking west across intersection of Baldwin and Duarte Road to Hinshaw's Department Store, which was located at 1201 S. Baldwin. The street trees planted by the City of Arcadia are seen as an attractive addition to the street. Hinshaw's went out of business in 1992.
A major renovation of the Hinshaw's shopping area should include the addition of a very large store plus additional space for smaller stores and a new facade for the buildings.
