Tennessee beauties greet travelers to Celina 2016-10-21 - TN 53 north of Neely Creek Road intersection, Celina, TN - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com (c). Two beautiful horses migh have told us, if we knew as much of their language as so many do, to turn right past their pasture onto Neely Creek Road to get to Free Hills Road, a delightful community above Celina, TN. Many Adair Countians only know Celina as the hometown of Blue Raider Basketball player Austin Cherry - the area is that and a lot more besides. -- EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

He has had many stories about Chief Pontiac and especially likes the achievements of the jaguar as an automotive celebrity.
