What do you consider “middle of nowhere Maryland” or “middle of nowhere Virginia”, where did your mind take you?

Anywhere outside of the beltway

Too close to Richmond/Charlottesville and Hagerstown/PA to be middle of nowhere.

You mean Charlottesville?

My grandparents lived in Claremont. In the sticks.

Same and same. I’ve lived here my whole life and have never heard of it which makes it the middle of nowhere.

Other middle of nowhere places - upper eastern shore in MD, almost anything in RoVa south of 64, west of 85/95 and east of 81. Also the eastern shore in VA.

This one seems too close to Richmond and Virginia Beach to truly be middle of nowhere.

Ah, that might be the census for Wash Metro area. To me, the DMV is just Arlington, Fairfax, and Loudoun.

No love for Alexandria or Falls Church?

Middle of nowhere means nowhere close to an interstate. Like Java, Virginia.

Your mind would be blown to learn that there are parts of Fauquier more densely populated and closer to DC than many parts of Loudoun.

Yeah, Salisbury and Harrisonburg each have decent-sized populations with airports big enough for commercial flights, so I wouldn't count either one as middle of nowhere. If you have multiple grocery stores within 10-15 minutes, nope.

Potentially considered too close to Martinsville, Roanoke and Danville. I’m from Martinsville which has been mentioned a few times. I would not say “middle of nowhere”. Easily I could go shopping in Eden NC, within 30min, out to Greensboro in less than an hour, and back to SW VA, and have access to everything I need. Hospital, Malls, Hotels, etc..

I consider Danville the middle of nowhere. To me, middle of nowhere means does a person not from there have any reason to be there? In Virginia, it's how far are you from DC, Richmond, Virginia Beach, Shenandoah National Park, the major college towns, and 81 and 95. Danville ticks off all of them.
