Kentucky Fried Chicken - "The Colonel in Chicago" (Commercial, 1977)
Here's another commercial for Kentucky Fried Chicken with its legendary founder, Colonel Harland Sanders (the original, not an incredible simulation) in Chicago. Here, he helps an old lady with one of her packages inside a building while explaining a deal for Chicagoans relating to his restaurants ("The Colonel's Special," an under $3.50 meal which is applicable only to those which have that banner and lasts until February 20th).

What building exactly are they in? Is that where the Potbelly is now?

That building in the shot looks very familiar.

We have 6 days to use the Colonel's 9 Piece deal...just says offer good through Feb. 20th.
9 pieces of chicken for $3.50...How much are 9 pieces today? And is it even real chicken?
