When I tell people where I am, I usually say "right next to the tip of the West Virginia pan handle", to make it easy to visualize on a map. (Alternatively: "an hour from Pittsburgh".) Since I'm less than a 10 minute drive from both Ohio and Pennsylvania, I reference "the tri-state area" frequently.
