The Curious Story of the Comet Ping Pong Sign (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Topoftheworld

After reading this article http://www.fox5dc.com/news/local-news/219472647-story I thought this last paragraph was interesting and out of place regarding the sign.

"Another bizarre and untrue claim is that the star and moon on the restaurant's sign are satanic symbols. But the actual history regarding the signage goes back decades. It used to belong to The Comet, a liquor store and deli that was in business in Adams Morgan for more than 80 years. When it shut down, the owner of Comet Ping Pong decided to save the sign, which is now a piece of D.C. history."

So I did a little digging and indeed this sign was given to Comet Ping Pong https://www.jhsgw.org/blog/tag/liquor%20stores https://www.jhsgw.org/images/uploads/objects_of_the_month/2013/_normal/comet-liquor-exterior.jpg

I Also found this when I did a search for Comet Liquor DC - You can actually make out the Comet Ping Pong sign in the background a little bit. https://books.google.ca/books?id=wWul9DxKfQEC&pg=PA173-IA3&lpg=PA173-IA3&dq=comet%20deli%20liquor%20dc&source=bl&ots=ODCuHVgi6p&sig=m0PTkPWfW2IV9L5RCMfoqcO5Znk&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjsnLjA5czQAhUo94MKHf5bArAQ6AEIkgEwFQ#v=onepage&q=comet%20deli%20liquor%20dc&f=false

The Book mentions that Comet deli was in Adams Morgan neighborhood. http://archive.is/FcO8H "Safety. James is trying to turn this into Adams Morgan, with the murders, the rapes...." What did Frank Winstead know about Alefantis? Why Did Alenfantis want the sign?

Clicking through the articles from the OP, here's a 2005 piece from the Washington Post:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/26/AR2005122600755.html

"But the workload has proved too much for Drazin's widow, Bernice, 76, who plans to close next week and sell off everything, including the dinosaur of a cash register and the shop's art deco sign, which the family says was put up in the 1930s and has evolved into a glowing neighborhood landmark."

The image there looks like the sign is in operation. Such a signs' value to collectors would be off the charts.
