But the tour guides made up so many lies and legends about UCLA buildings and landmarks that we didn't know what to believe. I always wondered about the little creek running behind Anderson along Sunset. It's one of those semi-hidden spots of campus I love so much.cindyluhttp://loteriachicana.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045235436087182302.post-79777798617993107792011-09-09T13:51:02.835-07:002011-09-09T13:51:02.835-07:00I've been under the bridge.

As a student at UCLA I went "tunneling" and explored the utility tunnels that run under the campus. <br /><br />One of the tunnels lets out into this large open space, which feels like it's two stories tall. It's a really neat space. We realized when we took an exit door outside what the structure was.<br /><br />Thanks for your research.

Thought you would want to know that the students at the Lab School (formerly UES) have been studying the Stone Canyon Creek, with the help of the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission and Santa Monica Baykeeper. They've also cleared weeds and planted some native plants along the banks of the creek: <br /><br />http://today.ucla.edu/portal/ut/lab-school-finds-laboratory-for-179624.aspxerg79http://twitter.com/erg79noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045235436087182302.post-56843333716474867862011-09-01T15:54:53.994-07:002011-09-01T15:54:53.994-07:00Reverto: That is the same Stone Canyon Creek as sh...Reverto: That is the same Stone Canyon Creek as shown in the blog post, the elementary school is a little more upstream than the Anderson School location The Militant found.
