Yum! operates or licenses all of the KFC/Taco Bell/Pizza Hut/Long John Silver outlets, not just the rat infested Greenwich Village location.
yum owns taco bell, etc. used to be a division of pepsi.
don't believe the w4/6 location was corporate-owned/run
one thing i've always wondered -- why do manhattan kfc outlets typically look like heavily-fortified prison commissaries? they look like they were designed by an architecture firm specializing in ghetto chinese take-out places or a company that makes protective taxi dividers.

I think Candice Hoeflinger is a talented photographer and her Harlem blog is an inciteful and a continuing visual and informative discription of Harlem for non-americans like myself. She brings to the attention and affirms or disproves and visually confronts preconceived ideas and notions of life in Harlem and it's inherent people.
