A lot of us have family and even friends in DC and we go there to chill with them. You'll see Marylanders hanging out in Gallery Place and Georgetown a lot and of course, most of us Marylanders go into the City to hit the nightlife scene up and many concerts and events. When there's nothing to do in the 'burbs, we drive or hop on Metro to have some fun in DC.
That's understandable if you're in the DC area. If you can "hop on Metro," then you're basically in what is considered DC; every city has suburbs.

I'm not disputing you, just saying there is a lot more Maryland
out there besides PG and MOCO, which border DC.
Right and those areas still lean toward DC and not Baltimore and the other way around
I'd say the MD counties that lean decisively towards DC are PGC, MoCo, Charles County, Frederick County, Calvert County, and St. Mary's County.
Anne Arundel County and Howard County are more of a mixed bag. Both counties are situated on the Baltimore side of Maryland but the both of them, most especially HoCo got a pretty visible DC influence going on.
The Eastern Shore is a little more standalone but I would say that it gravitates towards Baltimore more than DC. Western Maryland is the exact opposite.

My college roommate (white) was from Eastern Shore and gravitated toward the DC culture even though he wasn't pre-exposed to it possibly because we were from the area. However I conclude if he was roommates from folks from Baltimore then he would've gravitated toward that culture just the same.
