Walk in the front door of the house overgrown by trees well off Shiloh Road in Atmore, Ala., and the living room sits on the right-hand side. To the left is another room once occupied by two people each night.
In all, three rooms and a bathroom make up the now-worn down structure Arkansas junior receiver La’Michael Pettway used to call home. It belonged to his great-great grandmother and sits on land at one time owned by a great aunt, he said.
In March, his most recent trip to Alabama, Pettway visited the light blue house with the rotting front porch and discolored white wooden support beams.
