Hmmmm.  where to find "Google streets" of 2465 4th street (east side of 
street, near Dwight Way) from 40 years ago?, . . .
10 years ago, when I was looking for pictures and memorabilia from those 
days, a friend of mine said that he thought that he remembered them having 
a small sign on the front of the building; but he's dead, and his 
collection of pictures of interest of Berkeley and Albany was dumpstered 
immediately after his death. Now, there is a biodiesel place and some 
maildrops there.

Hmmm.   Maybe, if you contacted KFC and asked their IP lawyers for details 
and anecdotes for how they have protected their trademark?,  . . .
