yes, I guess it surprised me too when I moved here. I was accustomed to schools, libraries, municipal garages. In the township where I grew up, voting was in this gargantuan garage. There were three industrial green colored voting machines (with the curtain) sitting in front of huge bulldozers and snow plows. There were electric space-heaters around the makeshift registration area. When I lived in Ohio, it was always a public school or library. When I got here to the burgh and learned I would be voting in a church, I was like "a church" what? But that's pittsburgh, just about everything is eventually connected to some kind of church :)
