Michigan - State Highway 87

Fenton.  <br><br>

<i>Before my dad passed on his 35mm Argus C3 Camera to me, he let me take it out one day in November of 1956.  I stumbled on this photo that I took right here in Fenton 53 years ago.  As I think about it, it was my first intentional highway sign photo!  M-87 was decommissioned the following year.  It ended about a half mile down the street here at the Junction with US 23.  In 1957, the first stretch of US 23 freeway was opened from Fenton to Clio, Michigan; when US 23 was shifted, they took out M-87 at the same time.</i>
