Looking down over the Church of Scientology of Los Angeles and Bridge Publications, toward downtown Los Angeles. Taken from Griffith Observatory.

The sky in L.A. has reverted to much of its pre-bushfires smog, as opposed to the thick, smoky haze that had been sitting over the whole city when the fires were at their worst.

Our Scientology Volunteer Ministers were incredibly active with the firefighters on this, as usual, with just about every VM in the San Diego / Los Angeles area participating.

The Church of Scientology International, mother church for the Scientology Religion, purchased the Hollywood Guaranty Building in 1988. The building was then restored to its original 1920’s look, and remains an historic landmark of Hollywood.

Housed in the Church of Scientology International building are the key ecclesiastical management bodies of the Church, including Scientology Missions International, which supports Scientology missions in all parts of the world, and the International Scientology Volunteer Minister corps, which provides disaster response actions throughout the world and training for anyone in any group.

I did a drive-by of the Church of Scientology, mission of Wichita, Kansas when I was in Wichita for other business. Beautiful place! I got a tour when I went there, and they had big plans for handling the illiteracy problem in Wichita.

Founding Church of Scientology, Washington D.C., on a Snowy Day

The Founding Church of Scientology in Washington D.C., opened up by Mr. David Miscavige in 1995.

On this particular day, DC had only gotten around 5 inches of snow. However, as I think there’s only 2 snowplows in the entire DC-Baltimore metropolitan area, it was enough snow to shut just about everything down to the point where not even Starbucks was open!
