Times are estimates along a mapped walking route between map points, at about 80 m a minute, not door to door. How we work out walking times. Eruv badges compare the whole route with the community’s eruv map; “On the eruv line” means the route runs right along the line, too close to call, so check it on the map. The eruv can be down, so confirm it every Friday with your shul or Chabad: the eruv in Panama City.
Good to know
Register with the community security office (DSI) before your first visit; see Visitor registration on this site. In January, DSI holds its daytime visitor interviews here. The Nice Slice pizzeria is at its sports courts.
