My friend Kricket sent me this one, though her sister Rene took the photo out the window of a moving car. I guess a Westward "ho" is better than an Eastward one?
Ha, "westward, ho!" actually is a quote. The quotation marks should be around both words. It's the rallying cry for westward expansion from a hundred years ago. The "Ho" is not the shortened version of whore in modern slang, but the "ho" of "Land, Ho!"

Is this something to do with Santa Claus?
Greatest hits! Greatest hits!
Is this in Indiana? I think I've seen this before!
I don't want a ho with fleas!
Is this in Gnawbone, Indiana? I drove by it on Thursday, and almost took a photo for you!
Gnawbone, Indiana? I want to see that on a sign.

@Andrew--ummmm, we know what the "Ho" part was supposed to mean. You are totally missing the "point" of this "blog".
@deckardcanine--LOL!
Yeah -- Gnaw Bone (apparently a corruption of Narbonne, France) is on Rt 46 between Bloomington and Columbus, IN.
The hos travelling from east to west need a place to rest and do business in the middle.
Westward Ho! is a village in Devon, UK. I believe it got its name from the title of a book.
