This Small-Town Tennessee Pie Shop Serves Slices Worth Every Single Mile

A chocolate turtle pie took first place at the Tennessee State Fair four separate times. That same pie is still the best-seller at one small bakery on a historic town square. The menu goes far past that blue-ribbon slice. The shop offers more than 100 kinds of pie, from banana cream to a fruity creation called Tropical Storm. I can’t imagine reading that list without picking three favorites before lunch.

Blockbuster 5A matchup leads predictions for TSSAA football playoffs in Columbia area

Three Columbia area teams are alive heading into the second round of TSSAA football playoffs . Columbia Central faces a playoff rematch against Knoxville Central, which sent the Lions home at the same stage last season. Elsewhere Spring Hill looks to hand Lexington its first loss of the season, while Summertown travels west to face MASE. Here's a deeper look at the Columbia area's TSSAA football games in the second round of playoffs, with predictions for each. Game of the Week Columbia Central (10-1) vs Knoxville Central (10-1) Time: 7 p.m. When: Nov. 13 There are few matchups in the state this week which provide more intrigue than the "Battle of the Centrals." Last year Knoxville Central traveled to Maury County and ended the Lions' season with a 38-28 victory. There'll be no stopping Knoxville Central's Mr. Football semifinalist Kaden Long, who's thrown for 24 TDs and rushed for 15 more. The Lions have the talent to go blow-for-blow with Knoxville Central, especially if QB Daniel Booker returns to the field, currently a gametime decision having been out injured. Without Booker the Lions may struggle to keep pace, but his infusion could lead Columbia to avenge last year's playoff defeat.
