| Boom time: How WWII altered Maryland's economy, population and landscape | |
| During World War II people flocked to Baltimore to fill thousands of new, defense-related jobs. Downtown streets bustled with people looking to spend their newly earned wages. Commuters were stuck in traffic for hours. Housing was in such short supply that people lined up to live in trailers, and even to share beds in rooming houses and dormitories. Now, the region appears poised for another military metamorphosis likely to alter the course of our economy and our culture. |
