Arcadia is accessible by Interstate 210. There are three exits: Baldwin Avenue, Santa Anita Avenue, and Huntington Drive

'''Live Oak Library''': 4153-55 E. Live Oak Ave. Fancy hitting a library and just checking out some books? This library is rather obscure compared to the Arcadia library, but is very cosy and has a good selection of books. Its front is near invisible as it's small - there is a parking lot in the back however, just turn the corner and slide through the small alley-like road right after (there are green signs marking direction). Located between 8th and 10th Ave on Durate Rd. Open Mon-Weds 11AM - 8PM, 12-6PM Thurs, 12-5PM Fri, and 11AM-5 PM Sat. It's closed on Sunday. Tel: (626) 446-8803
Westfield Shoppingtown (commonly known as Arcadia Mall) is located on the northeast corner of Baldwin Avenue and Huntington Drive. It is right beside the famous Santa Anita Park.
<b>Joann</b>: A large, well-stocked fabrics store located on Durate Rd., just after Baldwin if you're heading towards Rosemead. It's part of the plaza with the Burlington Coat Factory (Joann's up the ramp to the higher floor when viewed from the road, although you can walk up to it once inside the plaza). Contains many fabrics, arts and crafts materials, decorations, etc. Great for sewing/designing needs.
<b>American Life Plaza</b>: Also in the same plaza as Joann, next to the Au 79 Tea House. Sells Asian trinkets, CDs, DVDs, and souvenir items.
