The Full Moon Garage is an auto garage in Chicago. It first appeared in Fool Moon, and again in Proven Guilty.
Description
In Fool Moon, the garage was used by Parker and the Streetwolves as a hide out and business front. It was a run-down building made of corrugated metal on a steel frame with rust running in streaks down the walls. There was a parking lot one side and a pawn shop on the other.[1] Years later, it had been abandoned since the Streetwolves disappeared. It made sense that Darby Crane was using it, it was old, abandoned, it had no windows, and it was close to the Convention Center.(reference needed)
It has a hole dug in the ground under one of the walls from years prior when the Alphas and Tera West aided Dresden in his previous escape.[2]

Dresden has an internal discussion with Lasciel to plot an escape.[9] Dresden dislocates all the joints in his bad left hand and painfully squeezes it out of the manacle. He reaches for a hacksaw to free his other hand, tosses it to Rawlins while he deals with Crane and Glau. They both escape the garage through hole in the ground under a wall made from Dresden's previous escape years back—they're wounded and not moving quick enough. Glau is about to kill Rawlins[10] when Thomas Raith appears with a shotgun and shoots Glau. Thomas calls Crane: Madrigal Raith, and tells him to drop his gun. Mouse gets Glua who had run off toward the van. Dresden unlocks the other manacle, and questions Madigral, Thomas’s cousin. Then a huge photophage in the shape of a giant with a pumpkin head, The Scarecrow, attacks. Thomas drives off with Dresden, Mouse and Rawlins in Madrigal’s van with The Scarecrow in pursuit. Dresden does an evocation causing ice to form under The Scarecrow, he slips, allowing them time to escape.[11]
