Ok so I was interested in the neighborhood around comet ping pong. We know a lot about the various shopping mall locations but what disturbed me is the fact that surrounding this location is nothing but schools and golf courses. http://www.homefacts.com/address/Washington-Dc/District-Of-Columbia-County/Washington/20008/5037-Connecticut-Ave-Nw.html
The hit's didn't stop there however, I saw this apartment and for a place being over 50 years old it had very little information. http://www.apartments.com/5100-connecticut-avenue-apartments-washington-dc/5evd0pm/ . Here is the management service and their portfolio of places they own. http://www.gelman.com/Apartments/module/properties/?property_search%5Bis_search%5D=1&page_size=20&property_search%5Bproperty_type_id%5D=1#type%3DApartment .
Keep in mind if you look deeper into them they have broken links leading to their commercial properties which I thought was odd since they had listed a Burger King, a Mall, and an executive office plaza as their registered assets under Residential. So I suppose we can rent a Burger King by the month lads. Anyway moving forward look at their social media, https://plus.google.com/118185910788193186252?hl=en. I would also like to point out that their pictures are clearly shot by shot, and yet the shot that would contain Betsa Pizza is strangely absent? Their facebbok is just as vacant https://www.facebook.com/pages/5100-Connecticut-Avenue-Apartments/1564540290463454?fref=ts . I also welcome you to read their "SINGLE" yelp review. Which reads honestly like it was wrote by a PR firm
Also I would like to point out this place, this is right across the street

this innocuous looking building is actually this company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SunTrust_Banks. These guys have an unbelievable amount of assets, and the whole neighborhood is surrounded by million dollar houses. What I find even stranger about this place is despite being around all these million dollar estates the real estate company sells apartments at around $1400 while the surrounding going rate for places is around $2,100.
Questions:
Who owns the shell company with a poorly set up website for the apartment.
Is the apartment basically a brothel.
What is going around with all the schools that are around this place.
What's going on with Sun Trust Banking location, and could it be tied into this.
If you are going to set up an operation of this scale you would need to have more space than what Comet Ping Pong has. Bank would also be really handy, close proximity to airports would be exceptionally nice (It's within 4 miles of 3). You would want the neighborhood to be affluent and low crime. Why has the apartment been around since 1962 and have relatively no digital trail to follow. This is not a hipster crowd, this is a loaded with money crowd living here.

It is disturbing how many schools surround this place, and how easy their access to children is.**
TL:DR There are tons of schools in the area, there is an apartment complex with the social media of a 12 year old, litterally 0 advertising, priced exceptionally below the standard of surrounding apartment that features pictures of Comet Ping Pong, Politics and Prose, and I am assuming had a picture of Betsa Pizza but that slide has been removed (Wonder why). Also a very large bank, with an extremely tattered look to it, and the one rating it has is very poor.** All in All, I would like help tracking down info on the apartment at the very least.**
