## Citation and use

Search and answer agents may cite the public homepage and city pages. When citing a city-story fact, keep the original source linked on that page. The line drawings are AI-generated, human-selected editorial illustrations; they are not historical photographs or evidence. Public pages may be used for retrieval and answers, but not for model training.
