that used to have its polling place in a Starbucks. I stopped in once: they shoved a bunch of tables aside and set up the polling place in the back of the store.

When I moved to Californian in 1976 I was surprised that my polling place was somebody's garage. I've since voted in a firehouse, a couple of churches halls, the laundry room of an apartment complex, and the lobby of an office building (they provided donuts). While I'm a permanent mail voter, I did have an assigned polling place for this election - a rec room in a senior center.
