Those are not "right outside of"


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.

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

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

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

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.

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?

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