couple of things that I saw that may lead you to change your mind about where the instagram "dig site" is...
the room with the digging from instagram https://i.sli.mg/4rSCDc.png and https://i.imgsafe.org/0aab857046.jpg is 100% in CPP. The ceiling, bricks and cinderblock wall all match the back "party room" that JA takes us on a tour of here...Check video recon here with shots of the back "party room" and stop it from 5:29 to 6:03.
You can even see the blue ping pong table folded up in frame 5:50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKTiUaloDDAYouTube What I noticed that no one has talked about is that the floor is about 3 feet deeper after the renovations. That is an illegal modification to the building. And maybe they did it to make a stage where bands can perform back there as well. Notice how he goes down stairs at around 5:29 and then back up at 5:50.
I think the walk-in freezer could be in the basement of CPP or Bucks. The other stores in that retail development all have basements so why wouldn't CPP in the front half also?
CPP has an extended back section, where the said instagram photos from 1 above are located. That must have been added on after the strip mall was built way back when.
"We don't even have a basement" doesn't mean that his other restaurant, Bucks doesn't technically lease the basement space and make his statement legally accurate at the time he said it. Don't forget JA is surrounded by lawyers in his circles so they come up with this shit all the time to CYA.
You're right! This IS the back room and when they were digging, they were taking the cement floor off to make it half a level lower so they could have a stage for future bands to come perform there. I also believe there could be a hidden basement somewhere where and a walk-in freezer could be hidden there. Buck's should be looked into more closely imho also. It could be the real deal, where things happen and Comet as the after party place or cover-up place. I remember one comment from John Kreher that said Comet after Bucks. Why would they go to a restaurant (CPP) after having gone to a restaurant (Bucks)? It kinda stayed with me.
There were two door ways to the alley between CPP and McCullough's. One in the front part and one in the back room. The killroom is very possibly this backroom because the ceilings are the same, the red beam is still there and the back doorway has been blocked with bricks. In my opinion, the hidden passageway is somewhere under the stairs or under the protruding brick pillar on the wall next to the stairs where a hole had been dug with two guys looking down at it in the first picture.
Not talking about the backdoor that leads to the outside. I'm talking about the doorway on the side of the building that leads to the old alley between the CPP and McCullough. Not the one at the bar level. There is another one further down in the backroom where they were digging wholes and breaking up concrete. That door has now been blocked. You can even see the blue CPP folded table next to the wall. https://i.imgsafe.org/0aab857046.jpg
The secret passage way and stairs I'm talking about could easily be behind the black curtains at the back of CPP's kids party room. If you look closely, there is approximatively a 2-3 feet wide space between the black curtain and the wall to the backdoor that leads outside. Looking straight at that backdoor, check on the left side of it. There is a 2-3 feet wide brick wall. Behind that, there could be stairs that lead to a basement. Watch these videos again:
