Bay

Bay is a blanket term usually referring to any area in Newfoundland that lies outside the overpass, the junctions of highway routes number one and two, both of which border the city of St. John's. "Bay" areas are marked by being far more rural than those inside the overpass, called "town," and are often economically backward to "town" areas. Some people, notably poliner Liam Peacock and associate Meghan Brown, contend that a third division exists in Newfoundland, called the townbay. Contrary to the prevailing opinion of those on both sides of the overpass, the prevalence of skeets is exactly the same in both bay and town areas.
