ST. CLAIR SHORES — This year is the 70th anniversary of the St. Clair Shores Memorial Day Parade, and there’s some special sights in store for patrons.
Memorial Day Parade Committee Chairman Dave Ellis said one of the main attractions this year will be a fly over from a World War II B-25 bomber. “It’s famous for the ‘Doolittle Raid’ on Tokyo that we, that was gone off (the) aircraft carrier Hornet in the Pacific in 1942,” Ellis said. “Most folks are really familiar. That’s one
of the most famous events of the Second World War.” Along with the bomber, a C-47 Dakota transport plane will be soaring across the sky. This type of plane was used to transport paratroopers, Ellis said, most notably for the invasion of France on D-Day. See PARADE on page 16A
‘IT’S PRESERVING WHERE YOU CAME FROM’
According to the state of Michigan’s website, historical designation can be given to buildings, vessels, areas, sites and other places that have local, state or national historical importance, such as the Selinsky-Green home in St. Clair Shores.

ST. CLAIR SHORES — Whether it is through the state of Michigan or the local historical commission, historical designation is a way to preserve where the city of St. Clair Shores came from. For those interested in the past, it is also a chance to dive deeper into the city’s residential and business history. John Cilluffo, vice chairperson of the St. Clair Shores Historical Commission, said that, before the early 2010s when they started the local designations, the city didn’t do much to recognize historical sites. “I’ve been on the commission for probably, early 2000s, and we never did anything like that,” See HISTORIANS on page 24A
