(Another Bad) City Week Ahead (Completed?!)

Same linking problem as last week – seems as though most of the City’s Website was down this weekend, so I can give you what I can get . . . and try to modify later today if I have time. If it works like it did last week, the links will work later today . . . but I couldn’t see them over the weekend.
