Where do you assume this person is from? What is the first town that comes to mind?

| Lots of options, and people have different definitions of "small" and "right outside" so if someone said that, I would explain I'm from the DC area, and what town is it? |

| Leesburg |

Those are not "right outside of" |

| Leesburg? Frederick? I don't consider any of the close-in cities like Arlington or Takoma Park small towns, and I don't know anyone who would. |

| Somewhere like Poolesville or Lucketts or Middleburg are small towns close to DC |

That would be ridiculous. Alexandria is the 3rd most populous city in the DC area. |

They are if you're talking to someone from Des Moines. |

Yeah, they are. Most of them are actually towns, too. Although I think Frederick is a city. People who say this don't mean Alexandria/Arlington/Fairfax/Bethesda. Those are suburbs. And most are cities, not towns (Arlington is a county). A town "right outside" of DC is probably 30 miles or so away. Ergo, Leesburg, etc. |
