By Nick Lico / Photography by Mike Ferdinande
What is Macomb County famous for? The list is long. A freshwater fishing capital. Historic mineral baths and rose city. Stops on the Underground Railroad. A world-renowned engineering and design center. Miles and miles of shorelines. Automotive plants and suppliers. A diverse and eclectic variety of recreational activities. And the list goes on. Macomb County has also produced its fair share of people who have made a mark in the world. They include actors and entertainers, athletes, even an astronaut. You may have watched them on TV, seen them perform in concert or even been a neighbor. Many are still within our county, or close by, including hockey players Dan Dekeyser and Steven Olefsky seen above. We are proud they call Macomb County home. Check out the list below developed from your surveys and let us know if you believe anyone was left off.
