It's where the Mother Church of Scientology is based. The organization owns most of the buildings downtown - I think there wouldn't *be* a downtown Clearwater at this time without them. The presence there is very pervasive and unavoidable. The hollywood connection (Tom Cruise, John Travolta, etc.) spend a lot of their time cultivating goodwill with the local businesses, but under wraps, so to speak. The press are not invited to the functions as they tend not to portray the organization in a favourable light.
