2009_11_28_scientology.jpg 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."
