It also had a lot of culture, a lot of rich people built really beautiful mansions around it. It used to be called Charm City, it used to get visitors all the time. It was a bustling, lively city. In the 19th century, it was the #2 city behind New York. 
Now it’s dead. It has the port, the medical/university system, government offices, and that’s it. It’s been stripped to its bare bones. 
It’s a skeleton being held together by string. Soon, it’ll likely just be ruins. If ZOG is lucky, it’ll still have functional railways and they’ll be able to ship through it, so Amazon isn’t disrupted. That’s it.
