More accurately, we’re more of an exurb but that’s more of a colloquialism rather than a formal term used for MSA maps.

Gilligan, of the Hillandale and Fox Hall Road Gilligans?

I bring a touch of higher class to the local area....it's a gift.

Somebody goofed. This is the rural area. Not a suburb.

I've lived here since 2000 and never considered it rural. Have to go out to the 7th or south of SMC for rural.

Lot more "rural" area than just those...housing developments aside.

Certainly not as rural as it was when I was a kid....in the '60s.

Not compared to where I moved from. There was 20-30 miles of interstate with nothing but trees between small towns.

Pretty sure we are part of the Washington DC Metropolitan Statistical Area and without local knowledge of the area, perfectly reasonable to call it a suburb of DC.

Further, as much federal and federal-adjacent (contracting cottage industry) there is here, might as well be considered a suburb.

Sure it is, that's why you have emission testing.

As any blind person can see, St. Mary's County is NOT part of the Washington DC MSA.

Don't tell that to the thousands of GOV workers at PAX River. I doubt they would like to give up that FAT pay bump they get for being in the "DC area."

Not the same as being part of the MSA

West Virginia has the same locality as Washington DC....

You have a bad map. Use Census maps.

Not St Marys.

Locality pay is for the Pax River complex, not St Mary's. Pax River gets a lot of commuters from the VA portion of the Washington MSA.
St. Mary's County is exempt from emissions testing because we are classified as a rural farming county.

Nice map, but the boundaries go a bit far for me, but I guess in 2023 people commute that far

Emissions are levied based on EPA measured air quality, not classification.

Not St Marys.

You and Gilligan figured that out all by yourselves ? Feelin that yank again?

That reads like Nebraska.

Its the old "I was wrong, but I'll pretend I knew it and was trolling ya". Since I have a close relative who's a pathological liar, I'm familiar with this tactic. They use it all the time since liars quite often dont know crap.

Caught you and Gilligan like a rockfish on a white bucktail with yellow porkrind and let you set the hook yourselves. Love it!
