Most likely your broken spokes is becoming a trend and number 3, 4...are not far behind.
I'd just respoke if the rim is in good shape.
The nice part about that is you can look at the spokes to see if they are the proper length before disassembling.
You can then remove a spoke from each side and measure, adjust if necessary from previous observation.
Order your spokes and relace, one at a time.
It's a bit tedious that way. IF you have wheel building skills, it's much easier yet.
IF you don't have the skills, you might talk to your local LBS and see what they charge to finish the wheel.
You save them all the "grunt" work.

BTW- Is Fairmount Park the one near 47th & Chester? (or so)
