1. MC Office of Student Success to host First Gen Celebration Week activities Nov. 9-13 (darkhorsepressnow.com) — First-generation students at MC in Clinton have more opportunities this week to connect with campus support during the university's first weeklong celebration of their achievements. Student Success coaches will answer questions Wednesday, Nov. 11, from 1–3 p.m., with chapel recognition Thursday and an Instagram prize drawing Friday rounding out the week. 
2. Barricade removed at Clinton intersection (theclintoncourier.net) — Customers leaving McDonald's, Taco Bell and Starbucks on Clinton's Springridge Road can now exit the frontage road at the traffic light. Plastic posts have replaced the barricade, but drivers still must enter the restaurants from behind McDonald's. MDOT plans a permanent concrete curb to help prevent crashes.
3. Food truck park closing, EV chargers being removed (theclintoncourier.net) — Clinton is closing its little-used Firehouse Food Truck Park and removing five public EV charging stations after internet problems prevented payment processing. The truck spaces near Fire Station 2 will become parking for Towne Park pickleball players. Food trucks still need individual conditional use permits while officials consider a simpler process.
4. The 12 Dates of Christmas Filming Locations (2026) (a2zfilminglocation.com) — Clinton's Olde Towne provides the Christmas backdrop for Hulu's new romantic comedy, The 12 Dates of Christmas, starring Lucy Hale and Ian Harding. Filmed downtown in December 2025, the movie debuted November 6. Coach's Creamery confirmed its involvement, though the guide could not verify which scenes were filmed there.
