They used to have a shop down the street next to the galleries and had open door and "workers" who would hand out flyers outside. Much more of a "come on in!" place. After the anonymous stuff, and the crowds that would protest outside all day happened, closed that one and bought this building. They also own the old brick building across the street. Don't know much about what goes on there now.

I bought dianetics when it first came out in the 80’s. Then the famous article about what it is came out in time magazine. I took that book to the back yard and burned it. I feel bad for anyone caught up in that scam. But not for nothing - if you get caught up in it now a days - why the hell didn’t you google it first? I mean come on!

I went in there with my bf at the time and gave them fake names. They seemed surprised that we came in and whispered "we have visitors!" And everyone came out from the back and sat in the front room for the "service". The daughter of the guy who founded it read a section of some LRon Hubbard book and we just sat there awkwardly. We then talked a little bit and lied about where we were from (I lived right across the street at the time). Then we left! It was boring, they seemed normal for the most part besides the whole scientology thing.
