I have noticed a chasm in Arlington in the last 30 years . Cooper Street is the chasm between West Park Row and East Park Row . We have people who not only have an elevated education level , but an elevated economic status regardless of their color . There are pockets of it here and there , everywhere around the city . But there ’ s a chasm that divides us , and it ’ s economics .
