On Allston between Shattuck and Oxford, right under the window for The Optician.

On this spot, the Strawberry Creek flows deeply buried below this sidewalk. If you press your ear against the ground, you can sometimes hear the water beneath you on its journey towards the San Francisco Bay. It remains covered, no longer posing threat to surface dwellers.
