Toledo, Ohio and Toronto, Canada are closer to each other than Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
That makes sense. If you in Toledo you'd go north to the Ambassador Bridge then drive east through Ontario to get to Toronto, it isn't a long drive to Toronto once you're in Windsor.
You are right, didn't set it as a qualifier, but I discounted DC as it is not in a third, separate state. The city is contiguous with the district which isn't a state. But great catch.
How many cities are in two states? Or are cities like Texarkana and Bristol technically two separate cities in two neighboring states?
Kansas City, KS and Kansas City, MO have the same name, but are different cities in different states. The border between them is partly a river and partly just a border. In areas, the state line runs through buildings, houses, and people's back yards.

Today at ~45% black/AA ( not a majority but a plurality - next closest is white at 36% maybe is appropriate

It was also called King County 3/4 of a century before Martin Luther King Jr was born. It was formally "re-named" King County in honor of MLK. If it had originally been names something else, like Puyallup Couinty, there is no way on earth that it would have been re-named King County.
