Alabaster, Alabama

Alabaster is a city in Shelby County, Alabama. The population of the city is 30,352, making it the largest in the county. Alabaster mostly occupies the Cahaba and Opossum Valleys, which are divided by the Pine Ridge that runs north to south. To the east and west, both valleys are flanked by parallel mountain ridges that locally run north to south, but are a part of a larger system of ridges that generally runs north-east to south-west (the tailing ends of the Appalachian foothills). The valleys are drained by small creeks (Buck Creek, Beaverdam Creek) which flow into the Cahaba River. It is most famous for being the birthplace of internet superstar and co-founder of the Ghostriders, Bryce Wallace, and the hometown of Cal Rowland from 1981 before his death in a nasty crash at the Dixie Shootout on February 13th, 2000.
