[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Baltimore, have lived on the Eastern Shore (still have lots of family there and go several times a year) and have spent the past 20 years living in the DC area. I've heard of all of the things on this thread (though have never eaten muskrat). What surprises me more than DC not knowing about DelMarVa is how little DC people know Baltimore and vice versa. And they have no interest. Both cities offer so much, are so close and yet they feel worlds away from one another.

I was talking to my uncle who lives in Baltimore recently and told him he should come to DC for the day. He said he hadn't been to DC since the 8th grade. He's 74.[/quote]

Op here. This is precisely what I am talking about. I used traditions as an example to show how little the areas know about each other. But the overall sentiment is that there is little interest in learning about the other though we are not too far from each other.  I’ll admit I was probably 19/20 the very last time I was in Baltimore. I could not tell you much about Baltimore even tho it’s less than one hour away. [/quote]

Because there is not much to "learn." This is a non-thing.[/quote]
