IndyGeorgia: Pennsylvanian, a quick question about Mount Oliver. Anything significant/unique about this area? Do you know why they are an enclave and not part of the city?

Thanks for the information.

Just a borough that never permitted itself to be annexed by the city, as many of the surrounding former boroughs -- now neighborhoods, or the markedly less romantic-sounding "wards" -- once did. An interesting and light-hearted, brief read on it on page 2 of [Link] might be of interest.

the fact that a conservative got 13 percent of the vote

RP: And idea what the wards are for here? There are 32 wards, but only 9 city council districts...

I'm also guessing the Pittsburgh Wards are now pretty much similar to Philadelphia Wards.

There's also the Mt. Oliver neighborhood which is right next door to the Mount Oliver borough.
