Anecdata: I grew up in Fort Collins and I'd never heard it called the Denver Walk before. It sounds a lot cooler than "pedestrian scramble" though, so maybe I'll just start sprinkling it in casual conversation and see if it catches on.

...now I just need to find some casual pedestrian safety conversations.

Yep, you did a set in English at Mein Freund Harvey a while back and we chatted a bit out front afterwards. I'm also a CSU alum. If I'm remembering right (and who knows if I ever am), you called me your son and told me to go unload the dishwasher. It was a great set — my partner and I both had a lot of fun!

Also, loved that place! I'm in Fort Fun once a year or so, and I was surprised to discover on a recent visit that, against all odds, it's still open and seems to be going strong.

Growing up in NZ, we called it the "barn dance crossing"
