A new youth outreach center opened Friday in the former Harlingen, Texas Police Station.
It is called "The Bridge". Here's a number of quotes from the article in The Brownsville Herald:

"Use of Scientology-based slogans and pamphlets at the city’s new youth outreach center have raised questions, but "The 21 Ways to Happiness" is just a common-sense motto that helps teach morals and values to at-risk youth, Cameron County Juvenile Justice Department Executive Director Tommy Ramirez Jr. said.
The walls of The Bridge, which opened Friday at the former Harlingen Police Station, are decorated with slogans that are included in the writings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard"
.....
"Villarreal, who is a local Scientology leader, said the slogans painted on the walls of the outreach center are basic morality lessons, and his purpose of supporting The Bridge is not to promote Scientology, but to help local youth."
.....
"Mayor Chris Boswell said the issue of the slogans, which are also displayed inside the Darrell B. Hester Juvenile Justice Center in San Benito, was discussed by the Cameron County Board of District Judges last week.
'They made a determination that nobody’s trying to promote a religion,' the mayor said"
....
"Julie Herrington, a member of The Bridge’s fundraising committee, said that rumors that the name "The Bridge" has something to do with Scientology is nonsense."
