yes there is a lot of money in Alabaster too. Shelby county in the wealthiest county in our state

Of course, that's where @bama alum is from.

Our new athletic complex is going to be ridiculously stupid big! I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of great changes. New soccer field and a new track that can be used to host events (can't do that on asphalt track).

I am right next to you via Fox Valley. It's definately a different Thompson than what I grew up by and the Tax base is growing even larger. I think Thompson becomes the next Hoover type program.. money helps

I've lived and taught here for twenty years; this town's population and tax base have grown exponentially in that amount of time. When the third major shopping center is developed in the next few years...Well, I do get the idea behind modeling Hoover. The small town feel though is nearly gone. I do miss that.

I spent a lot of time out on Smokey road when I was younger with my step brother and working in the fields cutting hay and then stacking hay bails in the barn. I "dated" a few girls from Thompson too. It used to be country folks out there and they had a typical country like sports program. They had a good football team every two or three years (always better than the one I went to.. Pelham) had a decent basketball team but the programs were just barely funded enough to get by.

Now they went out and hired a superstar coach who has the right mindset, a growing community with a variety of kids to choose from and all the money they will ever need for facilities and such. The people there are still a lot less pretentious than the "Hoover elite" so I think they will start getting the kids who are looking to go to a school to get noticed and/or developed because the kids will fit in better than at Hoover.
I have seen it coming for a while in the youth programs and it's about to hit the high school. I expect them to be much improved this year and look out for next year..

Best thing Alabaster did was start their own school system. By doing so, they were able to "zone out" a lot of their problems. (academically speaking)

I will be interested in seeing how they do in the future.
