The question assumes that proximity to DC has somehow fundamentally changed the character and essence of Baltimore, and I don't think that's the case at all. Baltimore was already an established city with its own character and vibe before DC really boomed and hit its stride. I think the most that can be said is that if DC weren't so close, Baltimore might simply be a bigger version of what it already is.

The real problem here us that Philly wasn't listed as a potential choice, when, in reality, it would be the easy winner here. Cities like Newark, DC and St. Louis could be considered, but they would be competing for 2nd place.

I could also see Pittsburgh. Any city that is post-industrial.
