[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Common sense suggests that suburban MD here is defined as the parts of Maryland that are included in the Washington metropolitan area:

Calvert County
Charles County
Frederick County
Montgomery County
Prince George's County[/quote]
Common sense suggests that HoCo is as close to DC as Loudoun County is, so why wouldn't HoCo be included?  Is it because HoCo's has a big city (Baltimore) that's closer to it?  But then why would Loudoun county be included as part of NoVa?  I am not from this area originally, so I really don't understand how NoVa is defined and how suburban MD is defined.

I mapped the center of Loudoun County to DC and HoCo to DC, and the center of HoCo is a tiny bit closer to DC than Loudoun county, so again, I really don't get the demarcation.[/quote]

I think fixation on which counties are included in suburban Maryland is a little bit off topic.  The important thing here is that Maryland needs to do more to attract business.[/quote]

Of course, but obfuscation is one of the few options left to those posters. [/quote]
