Default White Plains Show travel advisory
If anyone was planning to go to the White Plains show this weekend from NJ, please keep in mind the old Tappan Zee Bridge is set to be blown up Sat morning. I287/87 is supposed to be closed starting at 9am.

And relic cards will be created from the rubble as some athlete in some sport drove over the bridge during their career.

I will add that I am glad they put in the electronic tolls. It caught me by surprise when it first went in as I had a rental and was not expecting it. However, the approach to the toll booths after crossing the river was always a challenge, that and the downhill approach from NJ just before the bridge.

Are there any routes from NJ to White Plains that are worth trying on Saturday.

Or should I just wait till Sunday to go out there?

It did not prove to be very long-lasting, as bridges go. Did NY cut corners on its original construction, or fail to maintain it?

Material shortages during Korean War, so it was built cheaply. I guess they took a lot of short cuts. I believe when they built it, it was planned to last 50 years and it lasted over 60 years. Now you would think government would have saved 10 cents from every toll collected to cover at least some of the cost of building a new bridge. Wishful thinking to have a government that plans for the future...

Parking in the westchester lot went up to 15$! I think that's almost a 100% increase

Show was bustling yesterday. T206 (especially HOF & rare backs) prices incredibly strong. And anything Ruth and Cobb too.

Great to see some familiar faces- Al C, Bill B, Rob S and nice meeting TCMA.

Don't know this for a fact, but assume that's a municipal charge and not a show charge. Not that a $15 charge to park is reasonable under any circumstances.
