The Thetan Level of Printer's Row is about skyrocket: the Church of Scientology will move its Illinois HQ into new digs at 650 S. Clark St. next year. The Church is in the midst of renovations to the seven-story, 50,212 square foot building which, according to the Tribune, "will accommodate worship, courses, spiritual counseling known as auditing, community outreach and church administration." The Church seems to have outgrown its current digs on the North Side on Lincoln Avenue. Rev. Jesse Wells said, "That's one of the reasons we need such a large space, to accommodate all the activities."

I used to live in that loft building. It's not Michigan Avenue, by a lot.
This is old news. Do you not remember writing about this in 2007?

1. No, because that was a few months before I joined the site and
2. It may be 'old news' but if they still haven't moved in after delays, it's at least an update two years later.
Oh, you didn't read Chicagoist before you joined it? I get it.
You didn't mention anywhere in this story that this building project has been in the works for a few years, so your excuse is a wee flimsy. Carry on!
Oh, I did read the site, but my recall is obviously inferior to yours and, yep, I flaked on searching our archives for this story.
As penance I will gladly refund your subscription fee.
And tell you what: come to our meet-up in a few weeks with 2 cans of food and I'll also buy you a beer.
If any of them try to talk to you, just say: "Tell me about Xenu"!
$cientology rules require them to run away from anyone mentioning Xenu's name as 99% of them haven't paid the money to get to the level where they're supposed to learn about Xenu, the space ships that look like DC-8s, the billions of creatures thrown into the volcano by Xenu, ad infinitum!
I wonder how many people from that "Anonymous" group have joined Scientology and are attempting to infiltrate and embarrass the cult. I can't wait until that all comes crashing down.
What's with that logo too? DDS? It looks like something you'd find on the business card of a dentist with an interest in graphic design
