City art is pretty trendy - which is better, in your opinion? City art for where you live now, or city art for where you’ve already lived? I don’t think I’d get city art around where I currently live, it seems too “touristy”.
This would be an interesting decorating theme with some photographs, though. What do you think?
Keep a running history of where you lived and where you hope to live.
Neat, but not exclusive to Woot. They had the Dallas one at the local Bed Bath and Beyond last weekend. Identical print, same price as the Woot “discounted” price.
What gives? Why is Houston missing? Are you telling me that I don’t buy enough stuff to rate some wall art for the place you ship it to? I’m not saying that you have to have something for every city over 25,000, but how about the city named after the 1st President of your republic, Woot?
Not to nitpick too much but I don’t know about these other cities but a couple of the choices of streets to highlight in Philadelphia are quite puzzling. Myrtlewood & Hollywood for instance aren’t exactly main thoroughfares to be so prominently colored.
I like the designs. I’m just sayin’.
If they are from Maryland why no Baltimore?
I do wish they had a Baltimore print. If I end up moving around much, and I do plan on a least one relocation, it would be neat to start a collection of city art now. I feel like there are a lot of cities worth printing about that aren’t offered here.
I love the Philly one, but I don’t see how $100 can be the woot “discount” price for something that’s 20x26. Also, why is Myrtlewood St so prominently featured on it? Myrtlewood and Hollywood are heavily broken up side streets in North Philly - hardly main thoroughfares like Broad and Market and Vine and Race and Passyunk and Delaware Ave and Roosevelt Boulevard and Kensington and Frankford and Oregon and Pattison and South St, just to name a handful. For as cool as it is, it just doesn’t seem worth the guap.
Woot plus does not appear to be Woot like at all. I think the plus stands for plus a few more dollars than a good Woot deal. I haven’t seen anything on any of the Woot pluses that appeared to be a great deal. Reasonably priced if you’re in the market for the item but definitely not enough of a deal to justify an impulse buy.
First sign the person making the print doesn’t/hasn’t lived in Boston: it’s ‘Boston Common’ not “Boston Commons”.
Indeed Woot Plus deals are different although we don’t append “dollars” after the name. LOL.
The Plus deals are select deals of product that we can’t sell on the main sites for various reasons like it being too niche or the small quantities available.
They’re generally good deals in their own right but they’re not going to have the deep discounts that you’re used to seeing on the daily sales. This is due in part to the smaller quantities (i.e. no volume discounts). In some cases, the deal is improved if you take advantage of the $5 all day shipping.
As always, we know our wooters are serious consumers and will hunt down the best price available. We expect no less of you.
Hope that helps. Happy shopping!
Too bad these are all small towns. I haven’t heard of any of these cities. That’s a shame.
So did anyone else notice that the “DC Streets” are not in fact streets at all, but rather, attractions in DC? I would love to have a DC streets one with the streets on it!
I didn’t notice that about DC, but I did notice it about other cities. Both the Chicago and Ausrin versions seem to miss crucial, popular “streets”.
amen, brother.
Really nice response!

I see what you’re saying… For the SF one, they may have picked the main streets, but for some reason when you discuss the “streets of San Francisco”, I think of Lombard first (which they included somewhat pale), Haight and Ashbury, along with those, I certainly see some of the other streets coming in. Market, Embarcadero for sure.
