(Source of picture: Florida State Archives) Wouldn't kids today like to cruise along in an ostrich-drawn cart? This is Oliver W., Jr, the "driving ostrich." He entertained visitors at Dixieland Park, an attraction located in the vicinity of today's Hilton Hotel on the Southbank. The picture dates from between 1910 to 1919. The building in the background was the Park Theater Studio, once used for filming silent movies. It's long gone.
