The Other Washington - Photos - 1 of 10 - POLITICO Magazine - POLITICO Magazine: In her ongoing project “East of the River,” acclaimed area photographer Susana Raab explores the other side of Washington, D.C.—the poverty-stricken, blighted communities in the far northeast and east of Anacostia River that seem to go unnoticed, eclipsed by the classical monuments, political imbroglio and international intrigue, literally, next door. Though arts organizations and business incubators have slowly begun to move in among the boarded-up houses in these neighborhoods, they still remain very poor. Of all large American cities, Washington ranks fourth in income inequality.
