**UPDATE: Mapzen closed most services February 1, 2018. So updated shapefiles for Metro-Extracts as well as custom extracts won't be available.

I really like the Hot Export Tool. Not only does it allow you to visually expand or shrink the shapefile's boundary, but it allows you to reduce the amount of features to only the ones you choose.

Once you finish this tutorial, you can turn your hometown downtown into map art using the Wood Inlay Map Style. Choose your own wood textures for the land, city, and water and you can make many interesting variations.
