Jaywalking Guelph

Morriston Bank Robbery
The thing about Jaywalking is sometimes you get lost. Well, not lost; side-tracked.

I am in Morriston over Christmas, so I thought I'd read something by historian Stephen Thorning.

That's what happens when you Jaywalk everywhere. You end up taking an unexpected turn. Calfass Road no less. By the way the road was named after Mr. Calfas but he only has one "s"
