The paper replies to the Argument from Intimacy on behalf of defenders of emergent spacetime in theories of quantum gravity. The key insight is that spacetime regions are nowhere, they do not have locations insofar as they are locations. It then goes on to argue that supersubstantivalists of different sorts cannot endorse such a reply and need to resort to a more general picture of location according to which spatiotemporal location is just one way of being located, and not the most basic way.
