Clinton Main Street

This cute kitchen towel that says Clinton, MO is $15 and available for purchase at Clinton Candle Co on the North Side of the Clinton Square.
Proceeds benefit the Clinton Main Street organization.

Clinton Main Street will be selling merchandise featuring Clinton, Missouri. Proceeds will benefit the Clinton Main Street Program. This darling pillow is $40 and can be purchased at Silhouettes on the East side of the Square. Perfect for decorating for Olde Glory Days!🇺🇸

We all need to take pride in our community, not only in the downtown district but in our neighborhoods. Pick up the trash, pull the weeds, and help your neighbors. There will always be negative Nellys, but we know Clinton, Missouri, is special, and we need to treat it as such!

Blight can’t be erased overnight.

But decline can be halted in an instant.

The moment you begin to maintain, you are fending off the forces of chaos and disorder. The moment you start getting incrementally better, you shift a trajectory. And trajectories dictate where you end up.

It may start with pulling weeds and picking up trash. It may lead to planting flowers and applying paint. It’s hard to say exactly where the process takes your town, but it is guaranteed to be somewhere better.

A community cannot improve itself and not experience a boost in self-esteem.

When people see that progress is possible, something changes. When they become proud of their surroundings, they stop distancing themselves from their town and start identifying with it.

You don’t need a master plan. You don’t need a grant. You don’t need permission.

You need a broom and enough people who refuse to accept decline.

Start there.
