I had an epic 16-hour experience on Saturday, round-tripping it to/from World of Tile. Once there, I spent 10+ hours (including a short offsite lunch/bathroom break) trying to cover every last nook and cranny. But no, there was still more I did not get to. About 30 trips loading tile into my car 15 (?) pounds at a time + everything else — I am so tired I can barely move. So yes, this continues to be the World of Tile blog, more photos of my treasures and/or “other normal stories” to come as soon as I get full night’s non-adreline rush sleep. Meanwhile, I have nothin’ else but WOT on the brain, in the bones, in the soul, for ya this morning. Formal updates on status still be posted regularly here (tip: Subscribe to comments on all these stories if you are following the sad saga.) Who else went this weekend? What did you get?
Can you spot what’s missing in this photo?

Sad about WOT, but at least you got there & got some awesomeness before the end.
Jacki says
Pam, did you get the WOT globe????
pam kueber says
no, that was not me…
Ed says
Might be a little overkill on the front lawn. I’m thinking it would look better in an expansive, futuristic 60’s living room or bar.
Scott says
Oh no, the WORLD Is gone!
Chuck says
I think this place should have put on the National Register of Historic Places as a national treasure.
Mike and Lindsey says
Take it easy on that arm Pam!!!
Kate says
That’s what I keep telling her!

Ah! Retro-Irony! About 2 years ago I misplaced the sample of pink tile I wanted WOT to match so I could get going on a long-delayed project…found it in the garage THIS WEEKEND…too late! Hoping the new New Jersey location materializes. Thanks Pam, for keeping us updated!

This is so sad. RIP World of Tile. I’m curious to know what their new location and inventory will be like.
Steve H says
I wish the sign could have been preserved whole.
Jay says
Didn’t waste any time hoisting down the globe. Do you know what’s to become of it? More to the point, Pam are you planning a tile job in the near future? I wish I had your sheer strength, energy and determination. That’s wots and wots of tile.
This has been an interesting but sad story.

Alas, someone else now owns The World. Super post but kind of sad. Thanks for your time spent and dedication, Pam. May I suggest a couple of Aleves and a Molson.
