One thing to learn quickly is the DMV is not Baltimore. 😊

No one from Baltimore would say they are part of the "dmv" that's more a DC and VA suburb thing.

It does. But the DMV is the DC suburbs. Baltimore is outside that. It's a short drive between the two and a common commute, but most wouldn't travel it on a snow day.

As someone from the DMV proper, who moved to Baltimore 2 years ago, it is two VERY separate places. 😂 It’s a short drive (most places are within an hour or a little more) but don’t expect DMV friends to make the trip north. My friends and family act like I live in a different time zone. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I am usually the one that heads down instead of the other way around. DMV is typically within the Capital Beltway (not to be confused with the Beltway in Baltimore which most ppl just call 695) so it includes all of DC, some of MD and some of VA. Nowadays ppl try to squeeze anything in the DMV including southern MD and central VA. But it isn’t. Anyway, welcome to Bmore. It’s weird but great. We like it. 🤷🏾‍♀️

DMV usually refers to the parts of Maryland and Virginia that immediately surround DC. So it includes places like Silver Spring and Bethesda, not so much Baltimore. It's a fun area, and if you make friends down there it's a good place to spend a weekend. But it's a long drive to constantly be visiting.

I would say as a general rule the DC adjacent area of Maryland extends up to about the Patuxent River.
