TALLAHASSEE, Fla.— The Google Street View Team has gotten in the holiday spirit and veered off the main roads to visit City of Tallahassee’s Dorothy B Oven Park.
Using Google’s Street View technology, you can now tour the Holiday Lights at the park without leaving your computer. The tour takes you from the driveway entrance off Thomasville Road, to the walking paths and even inside the main building.
