Whitestone? Throgs Neck? GWB? Deegan? Detour? Not much of a choice, here. The first photo is the scene outside Yankee Stadium, where there was construction on I-87 and associated feeder roads. The second photo is or was somewhere up above the highway near Yankee Stadium. It's a small photo, but an original sign. (87 South: Deegan Expwy., Triboro Br., ←) The third photo is entering the Bronx near Exit 13, with especially ironic graffiti (plus, someone had to venture to the median to do it).

NB at and on Exit 7 in 1973, courtesy Michael Summa. Since this part of I-95 didn't open until 1964, these are definitely the original signs. And since they match most of the ones I've seen on I-95, I would venture to guess those are all originals too, even in 2008. I-87 manages to go through three sets of exit numbers - Major Deegan Expressway in New York City, New York Thruway from Westchester County to Albany, and Northway from there northward. So there are actually three Exit 7's. This is the first one.
