Hot & Spicy for you in Ohio

May 2nd, 2007 by elenamary

Cinco D' Ohio

I saw this sign yesterday at a market here in Columbus.  They sell local foods, organic foods, and hard to find goods…or at least they try to.  On Saturday’s farmers bring in their goods to sell.

Anyway, I found this banner to be hilarious. What does “Cinco d’ Ohio” mean? What is up with the  D’, I don’t understand the apostrophe.  And the “spice of life in Ohio” and “hot music”?

I am sure many of my readers have discussed in their Latino identity classes about how whenever describing our people and culture the words “hot” and “spicy” are used.  Way to go North Market in using both in a banner that has less than 20 words.
