Once upon a time

Places from the past - Hinsdale's building services supervisor, Jim Piontkowski, a Hinsdale Central graduate, moved to Hinsdale in 1971 and spent many years here in his youth. Having spent more than 40 years with the village, there isn't a lot about Hinsdale he doesn't know or hasn't photographed. This photo from 1979 was taken of 6 E. Hinsdale Avenue in what appears to be a men's clothing store called The Front Page and Vann's Drugs was next door. It now is part of Starbucks. Do you have a Hinsdale photo that is at least 25 years old? We'd love to share it with our readers. Stop by our office at 7 W. First St. or email it to [email protected].
