At the end of nowhere

Hi,

I wonder if the following examples ( without the preposition 'at' ) sound ok to native speakers.

(1) Kate just didn't want to look like someone from "the end of nowhere"

(2) It was a rural area yet nothing like "the end of nowhere"

If my examples are not grammatical, would you please correct them?

thanks in advance!

  • "The end of nowhere" is not a fixed expression, so you can use whatever preposition works for you, or none.
  • Number two needs a comma after "area".
