Where is McLean?  (Or Oakton, Potomac, Great Falls, Bethesda, etc.?)
It's wherever the Postal Service says it is, unless you are referring
specifically to the limits of an incorporated municipality (and even
then, the USPS can make it larger than the town/city limits, as it has
with Fairfax and Vienna).  And the USPS can move you on a moment's
notice to another postal delivery address.  (This can even cost you
money, if your insurance people aren't really savvy, as much insurance
rating is based on the ZIP code where you live.  When I lived in
Philadelphia, my house was really in Blue Bell, about 2.5 miles north
of the borough limits for Norristown, but I had a N'town mailing
address because the BB post office was too small to handle the large
rental townhouse development where I resided.  That caused some of my
neighbors to suffer from inflated insurance premiums, due to the high
level of crime in N'town.  I was with State Farm and they knew
better.)
