We're desperate to get you bums out to vote — we're looking at you, Democrats who never vote during midterms — so we're using any argument we can. How about this one: Vote to see Philly's truly strange polling places, including a Southwest auto repair shop, a funeral home, a bar and a bowling alley.

Ryan Donnell did a lovely online photo essay titled "Philadelphia Polling Places," which chronicles these charming spots. Please do check it out … in person, too.

To get from the door of my polling place to the actual booths, I had to walk through the kitchen of an elementary school.

I remember seeing this last year and being really disappointed that my polling place was at Berean Institute. Although, that place is weird enough with its existence.
