article excerpts:
Do you remember Comet Liquors in Adams Morgan? Located on Columbia Road between 18th and 19th Streets,
it had a distinctive neon sign. Most who remember the business don’t realize it was opened by a Jewish immigrant in 1940 and continued to be Jewish-owned throughout its existence.
When Oscar Gildenhorn opened Comet Liquor, the neighborhood was not yet called Adams Morgan, but the
name had caught on by the time Gildenhorn’s son-in-law Howard Speisman took over management 25 years
later.
Sidney Drazin bought Comet in 1980. Drazin, a native Washingtonian, had served in World War II and then
run a few different businesses before buying Comet. -
Drazin was a popular neighborhood personality. One regular told the Post that “Sid was the surrogate parent to
all the lost souls of Adams Morgan, all the single people who needed a confidence boost.”
the sign is a historical item --- The iconic neon sign was purchased by a local restaurateur and now hangs at his restaurant, Comet Ping Pong on Connecticut Avenue NW. -
there is also a comet liquor store in dublin

There has been some speculation about the moon-star design being comparable to a drawing of baphemet. Ever since the "spirit cooking" podesta email on wikileaks some have linked pedophilia and the occult. I checked out the history of the Comet sign and discovered that it was not an original design by the current owner. There is an alternate story that explains the sign. It was a piece of D.C. history and it was for sale. The current owner bought it.
