4 Corners taking on Boot & Saddle?

If I hadn't have seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have dun believed it: My neighboring Boot & Saddle, the long-closed belle of Broad Street (off Ellsworth) cowboy bar and rodeo saloon, has a liquor license sticker registered to BootPhilly LLC at 1845 Walnut Street, the address that Avram Hornik and Mark Fichera's 4 Corners Management uses. The same guys who just opened Union Trust on Spring Garden, the same dudes who are doing the Ortlieb's Jazzhaus redo. I just called Hornik to see if it was he who was indeed on the Saddle, to ask if he'd taken it over. He teasingly said, "Boot & Saddle? Where's that?"

ADA: "South Philly. Is that yours now?"

AV: [silence]

ADA: "There's a liquor sticker with yer address on it, pardner."

AV: "Can't say right now."

I wish he had called me cowpoke or Black Bart.
