A tall, bushy privet has grown up between the seat and steering wheel of the rusted, old Oliver tractor, which is parked right where Elvin Hill left it nearly 50 years ago.
“Something broke on it and he was fixing it and he stopped for lunch and he had a massive heart attack and passed away,” Hill’s great-grandson, Justin Hill, explains to a visitor to his farm. “And they just never moved it.”

We can’t think of anything more Alabama than green tomatoes, Conecuh Sausage, collard greens and pimento cheese.
At SoHo Social restaurant and bar in Homewood, they’ve rolled all those essential Southern foods into one delicious appetizer.
They call ‘em Whistle Stop egg rolls, and they have been a favorite on the menu at the Homewood eatery since it opened in 2017.
