It's quiet, spooky, surreal and full of huge mostly empty buildings. Even some of the large multistory residential buildings appear to be empty. The Scientologists made downtown Clearwater their home base and bought a significant percentage of the real estate over the years. Some of the businesses on N Fort Harrison street are affiliated with Scientology and are not actual independent local businesses. When I go downtown for a public outdoor yoga class in a parlk or a pop up market or some other very rare reason, Scientology folks are walking busily from place to place but won't typically look at you. It feels like a freaky science fiction movie when you experience it. Life is different in Clearwater.

I am extremely frustrated by the inconsistent information I receive when contacting Social Security…read moreby phone in Clearwater, Florida. Each time I call, I seem to receive a different answer to the same question. In addition, several phone representatives have been rude and condescending during these interactions. When I previously asked an employee at the local office about these inconsistencies, I was informed that the phone representatives are located off-site and was advised to visit the Drew Street office in person for accurate assistance. As a disabled individual, traveling to the office is not always feasible. On May 14, 2026, I contacted the Clearwater office and spoke with Mrs. Steins. During the call, she repeatedly interrupted me, spoke in a dismissive manner, and implied that I was being dishonest regarding prior contact with the office. Specifically, when I referenced a previous visit to the Drew Street office on December 8, 2025, at approximately 11:00 a.m., she responded, "That's funny because it's not documented." I did, in fact, visit the Drew Street office on December 8, 2025. The in-person staff at that location have consistently treated me with professionalism, kindness, and respect, which makes this experience even more disappointing. I strongly encourage Social Security to review and audit phone interactions for professionalism and consistency in the information being provided. The call in question occurred on May 14, 2026, at approximately 3:32 p.m.

Everywhere you go there is something to enjoy, from the local shops and restaurants to the beautiful waterfront areas.

After being trafficked and feeling completely abandoned by other churches in Florida, I was at my lowest point. They were the only ones who actually looked at me, saw my need, and took action. They didn't just offer prayers--they gave me real, tangible help by feeding me, clothing me, and making sure I was cared for. To me, it's a beautiful religion because of the deep compassion and humanity I've experienced firsthand. I will forever be grateful for the way they took me in and treated me with such kindness when I needed it most." Thank you Petra, I love you!

It's a beautiful path and sign. However, downtown Clearwater is a surreal wasteland. Many businesses are fake and most of the huge buildings are totally empty. This is the headquarters of Scientology and the religion owns most of the property. You occasionally see well dressed young people walking from place to place taking on a Scientology task of some sort. They never say hello or smile. It's like a bizarre science fiction movie. Perhaps someday, downtown Clearwater will be revitalized but, unfortunately, it has a very long way to go. Life isn't very good in downtown Clearwater.
