Peter, thank you for this interesting history. I’m a California guy with no ties to the Atlantic side of the country. So I know almost nothing about states like Maryland, Delaware, etc. Demographic shifts after the Second World War also affected west coast cities like Los Angeles and San Diego, but since then it seems (to me, not a social scientist) that further change has been barely perceptible.
