Maryland: suburban Silver Springs/Rockville
I think Silver Spring and Rockville are a little too classically upscale and corporate-dominated for quasi-urban centers to be all that woke. Within the DC metro, Takoma Park is probably the best example, as mentioned earlier in this thread.
Ironically, Rockville's only cultural depiction of note represents it as a forbidding Rust Belt remnant, when that's quite far from the truth:
Fair enough, my perception of Rockville is more from Logic (one of if not the corniest rappers I've ever heard) and the 2 Berniebro engineers I know there from school.
