It's tired for locals. It's not tired in a place that exists to serve out-of-towners.
Nashville residents probably get tired of country-music themed joints, but they keep doing well in certain parts of that city, for a reason.

Spot on, Jeff. In fact, according to Insider Louisville's account of this story, Ed Lee expressed that he is aware that he'll have his critics regarding 4th St Live. But he pointed out that thousands of people pass through there. He also thinks that it was a good opportunity to put a local face on the block......I agree with that philosophy and wish him the best of luck.

James, how often do you dine at 4th St. Lies? TGI Fridays perhaps? I wonder if they will let black people in his restaurant. No. I'm sure it's fine. Cordish cares about everyone.

That's no slight to anyone doing fine dining, but there are only so many luxury meals to be had. 4th street makes a ton of sense for this concept and I think we would all rather it was one of our own than, say, Bobby Flay. At least I would.
