Sure, I don't see "Ho-made" pies as a negative, but I would think that it wouldn't be a selling point in Southern Utah. Maybe it was run by one of those teen-incarceration places that take all the bad kids from California? Perhaps it was run by a sex worker rehab non-profit? Maybe the sign-maker was taking a little slap at the pastry chef? I don't know... I do know that while it jumped out at me, no one else seemed to notice it.

It may be too hot here to post anything but pictures.

Oh, AWESOME.

Tad's family lives near there. I almost want to visit to get a Ho-made pie. But not quite.

Ha, there's a place up in northern Wisconsin that sells "Ho-made jam."

I've seen that particular usage around occasionally, although I don't know that I've ever seen it immortalized in neon. I think it's supposed to be folksy... but deliberate folksiness always irritates me.

Be sure to stop at the Coral Pink Sand Dunes outside of Kanab!

My first thought was that it had to do with the local Native American s up there - the Hopi. My brain read that sign as "Ho-pies". Then I realized that no, this is Utah, and I just lived in Arizona way too long.
