      Ha, I strongly believe that this sort of extremely-local story is critical for any extremely-local community!

      Also, this damn bridge has got to be a metaphor for just about everything about this city…

            Part of the original design plan for Arlington was that it would continue across the river with a bridge there as well, creating a north south corridor there.
