Just where is suburban nowhere, anyway?

In my case, suburban nowhere is Montgomery County, Maryland.

I was at a party in the District sometime early last year, and I was trying to explain to someone just where I live. I was having some difficulty because I live in an unincorporated area and I didn't know what to call it. So I was rattling off the roads you'd take to get to my house, and saying what the landmarks are: a townhouse development and a major strip mall across the way. The fellow interrupts me and says, "so it's sorta suburban nowhere." I just nodded in agreement and said, "yeah, it's suburban nowhere."
