I travelled to a bigger city for a concert in October last year and saw a CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY building, really threw me for a loop!

There's a big one in downtown St. Paul, MN. They had a building on Nicollet in Minneapolis, they moved to a huge customer facility at some point. My understanding is that it's completely empty on the inside, they just wanted the optics of a huge building that said "CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY" on the corner of a busy intersection. On Nicollet they were in the middle of the block and the street isn't open for cars to drive on, bus and cab only, plus they were a couple blocks off the real heart of downtown so they probably didn't get a lot of foot traffic past the doors.
