HRC packs them in at Fishtown

One day after securing an important victory in New York, Hillary Clinton quickly turned her attention to Pennsylvania.

Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination, highlighted her experience and pragmatism during a 30-minute speech Wednesday at The Fillmore, a new Philadelphia concert venue in Fishtown that holds some 2,500 people.

"We've got to quit the divisiveness," Clinton said. "It's not the way to solve problems. If you have something to say, you can draw attention to it. But then have a conversation about it."

"She knows how to get things done," said Matt Hartman, 28, of Philadelphia. "She knows the issues. She knows her stuff. That really resonates."

Supporters began lining up outside The Fillmore hours before her campaign event took place. Once inside, they packed the floor to get an up-close look at Clinton, who took time to shake hands and pose for selfies after her speech. Others crowded into the balcony or stood along risers behind the stage.

"It's kind of surreal to see that person you've seen on TV and supported right in front of you," said Kelsey Mills, 28, of Philadelphia. "She seemed very relatable up there."
