The African-American community of Washington DC.....with Eastern North Carolina. Hundreds of thousands of transplants and their descendants from Rocky Mount, Tarboro, Goldsboro, Wilson, Fayetteville, which were historically connected with D.C. on the railroad line.
The White community of Washington DC and Baltimore MD, with Western Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh. In Maryland you see Penn State Univ, and Steelers logos and decals everywhere on cars, and Penn State Univ and Steelers flags everywhere on doorsteps.

Coming from one of the far western counties of Pennsylvania, Beaver Co., which has a border with Ohio and West Virginia, I find it odd to think of Penn State as "western PA". In any event, people from all over PA go to Penn State.
