Washington and Baltimore downtowns are as distant as Dallas and Fort Worth. As Baltimore is as an old and big metro area for ages, people struggle to see it as part of other bigger city metropolitan area.
However, Washington-Baltimore is clearly a single metropolitan area and as it grows fast, it's only becoming more intertwined.
