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.

You don't think that Marylanders take visiting friends or relatives into D.C.?

Right and those areas still lean toward DC and not Baltimore and the other way around

That's actually what I had in mind. Lol sorry, the rest of Maryland outside of PG and MoCo were a bit of an afterthought on that discussion

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.
