I wouldn't say in decline so much as it just hasn't been developed yet.
Right now in MD all the places which have already been established as suburbs are the ones which are seeing the most development, sort of filling in the empty spaces and saturating the filled up ones to make a more contiguous metroplex. This is happening most in the NW suburbs of DC and also the NW suburbs of Bmore, although I pay less attention to Bmore since I'm from the DC area.
