Carbonear

Carbonear is a town of about 6,000 people on the Avalon peninsula in Newfoundland, Canada, about 100 kilometers west of the capital city, St. John's. The town is home to the Howell family, and most Poliners hail from the town or its surrounding areas. Carbonear is very pretty in the dark, and is home to a mall, a really tall windmill, and two separate rock paintings, both saying "Gas Price's Sucks." If you are driving to Carbonear from St. John's, you will also pass a rock on the way that says "I hate tissues." Carbonear is home to many delightful and interesting characters, including Games Bill, Crazy Dave, Gladys Mercer and Q.
