There are some neighborhoods mostly out by the ADM plant, which is also what smells that are not so great, but that's to be expected since the median income here is quite low. It's just your average small to me.. It has absolutely everything you could possibly want here though.
Fast foods galore, Target, Walmart, hospital, etc. The schools here are also pretty good but then again I'm comparing to Florida where they kind of really really suck. When we moved here we looked at other towns in Illinois but ultimately decided on Clinton because Illinois taxes are horrendous and it seemed to have everything we would need. My husband even actually works in Illinois. The smell comes from the ADM plant.
When we first moved here we actually lived right across the street from it. It didn't bother me one bit though. To me it honestly smells like corn cooking. It is a corn processing plant afterall. The smell didn't stop me from opening my windows or anything else.

Advertisements My husband and I are planning a move to Clinton, Iowa for a new job this summer, and are eager to get more information about the area and local attractions. Basically, they take corn, soybeans, and many other crops and plants and term them into oils, food, feed, fuel, and other products.
You can read more about what they do here. The food you feed your dog or cat, if it's Purina, probably comes from here. When you're traveling on Manufacturing Dr. National By-Products was bought by Darling Ingredients in What does National By-Products do?
It's pretty disgusting so get ready. National By-Products is a rendering company that takes kitchen grease and livestock carcasses and turns them into industrial fats and oils. You read that right, they render livestock carcasses and make them into other products including tallow which is fat you can cook with.
When they render those by-products, the smell is disgusting and is the third gross smell you get when you are in Clinton. As a born and raised Clintonian, I love my hometown. As sad as it may sound, the smells from the factories listed above remind me a lot about my childhood.
My parents owned a bar on Camanche Ave. I played little league baseball on the south end of Clinton where the smell of National By-Products really lingered but we won a lot which brings back fun and happy memories. I know, the smells of Clinton don't bring everyone the same weird and nostalgic joy it does to me. I can tell you this though, if you stay in Clinton long enough, or go towards the north end, you don't even notice it anymore. Connor Kenney Published: October 22, Share on Facebook Share on Twitter.
