Ain’t no press like J-Press press. After a round of Frankie Says Relax t-shirts and charity collection quotes from gentrifRied hip-hop MCs, she lets the Times’ Style Section into Silk City’s pants. For how much longer must one remark on Northern Liberties and the proper usage of “jawn”?

“The jawn is a Philly word,” said Brian Nadav, Mr. Hennessey’s friend and bandmate. “It means ‘a good thing.’ It can be a noun, like you can say, ‘Yo, pass me that jawn’ or ‘I’m the jawn.’ ” But, he cautioned, “It is never a verb. You never say, ‘I jawned.’ ”

One more time, for those who have not been and do not know. The hottest party in town is only the HPIT until errrrybody knows about it. A wham, bam, thank you m’am for the missus.
