City Notes is born from a conversation. Part interview and part travel guide, City Notes takes its readers on a humble tour of a metropolis through the eyes of a creative professional. It’s an idiosyncratic close reading, an interview with a place via the loyalty and loves of some of its most prestigious ambassadors. In this edition wejetset follows Joey Sweeney – editor & co-founder of Philebrity – on a tour of his city, where he highlights his favorite places to eat, stay, see, relax & live.

“I was born in ’72 so I came of age in Philly at a period that history will probably remember as a bummer time for the city. A lot of jobs dried up; whole wide blocks were just completely rotten or blighted. Ed Rendell was mayor here for a large part of the ’90s and he was magnetic, and he really loved the city of Philadelphia, and things started changing. Ever since then—and even almost despite the Street administration, which followed Rendell’s—the city just kept on reinventing itself. One by one, little neighborhoods would start to get hot, and different things would be happening, whether it was a restaurant or venue or a retail movement. Sometimes it would just be the case of people moving to a neighborhood and really taking care of their homes. Gradually, a place that was always touted as a city of neighborhoods actually became a city of great neighborhoods…” Get your copy of City Notes to find out more about Joey and his love for Philadelphia.

We’re excited to welcome another thoughtful collaboration by Incase. World-renown sneaker & streetwear destinations, DQM and HUF created skate messenger bags stamped with their ethos and loaded with features. Each are fantastic, but it’s the story behind the project that really brings these products to life.

As reported by Incase: Born out of longstanding friendships that span across time and space, the Incase for HUF and DQM project began when Damon Way (Incase Chief Brand Officer), Keith Hufnagel, aka HUF (HUF owner/professional skateboarder), and Dave Ortiz (DQM owner) decided to partner together with the vision of creating a product that authentically represented the interests, backgrounds and geographies of the parties involved.

After a little more than two years of collaboration and development, the vision took the form of an innovative messenger bag pairing the best aspects of conventional bike messenger bags and the ability to secure a skateboard, with Incase’s refined industrial design aesthetic and device-driven functional features. The results of the collaboration are the fully functional HUF and DQM Skate Messenger Bags, customized in two variations to depict each retailer’s respective city.

We’re excited to welcome another amazing product from Arkitip and Incase. With their third installment, they’re featuring original artwork from Steven Harrington for the 15” laptop & 3G iPhone cases. Influenced by Time-Life Encyclopedias 1965-1972, thrift stores and the 60s pysch sounds of The Moody Blues, Steve’s art might be termed ‘contextual objectivism’. That is, each piece is created as a tangible object symbiotically defined of a larger context. Click Read More for additional information and to view a video about the collaboration.
