Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi Set for Final Hillary Clinton Rally in Philadelphia
Springsteen will join fellow New Jerseyan and Clinton supporter Jon Bon Jovi at an election night eve event held at Independence Mall alongside President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, as well as former President Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea.
"With Independence Hall as the backdrop, Clinton will urge Pennsylvanians to make history on Tuesday by electing her president so she can continue pushing for the American ideals of progress, inclusion, equality and strength that our founders enshrined in our Constitution there in 1787," states a message on Hillary Clinton's website.

(129,440 posts)There is the Bourse there but as others noted, it's not really that big. They have renovated the area several times over the past 40 some years. Here is a recent overhead of Independence Historic National Park -
The view is looking north from the back of Independence Hall (from around Walnut St.) toward the Constitution Center, at the other end of the grassy area, which is on Race St. (about 5 blocks)

They renovated it and made it into a multi-floor food court, although they recently opened a Penzey's in there, so yay!
(disclosure - I've worked in that area of the city for 30+ years)

(129,440 posts)I believe the event doesn't start until 7:30 pm ET although they will probably turn on the streaming feed earlier. It will be dark down there by then and all lit up so should be dramatic I would think.

(297,655 posts)that link starts up around then.

(129,440 posts)By tonight, there will be no pedestrian traffic even allowed on certain streets (it's a National Historic Park).
Last night I had heard about Springsteen being on the schedule. I had wondered where he was since he was very prominent during the 2012 election and figured he'd be out there during this one.
Cha
(297,655 posts)I was wondering where Bruce was too.. he's going to be in the finale!

(129,440 posts)I am glad to see my city featured for more than "Rocky" and "Cheese steaks".
People continually forget that the nation's founding documents were written right here in Philly at that spot and in that building she will be standing in front of - the ultimate in-your-face to the founders to say "See? All "people" (vs just "men" are created equal".
Cha
(297,655 posts)my heart is there, too!
Hillary and Team have everything so well planned.. it's perfect to have the last GOTV Rally in Philadelphia.. and then there's the other element. Freaking 180 Degrees!

Glad to fill in some info for ya!
No, not going down there though. It has been horrible traffic-wise the past week due to the strike so I have been teleworking. I probably wouldn't have been able to see anything if I were down there anyway (except on any big screens they might put up). Will need to cuddle up on the sofa and watch the events on teevee.
Cha
(297,655 posts)you guys! They just need coats and long johns.
So glad the Strike is over.. that's like a miracle just in time for Voting Day!
Here's a pic of the crowd in Ann Arbor, Michigan for Obama before he makes it to Philly tonight..

(279 posts)I'm in Montgomery county. It's outdoors right? I'm confused by the "doors open".
BumRushDaShow
(129,440 posts)You would probably need to park a ways away in order to get into whatever perimeter they are setting up. It'll probably be similar to what they did for the Pope and when Hillary had a rally after the convention.
thejoker123
(279 posts)Think there's any chance of get in, or be somewhere where I could at least hear and maybe see the stage?
BumRushDaShow
(129,440 posts)The channel 6 video here showed people had started lining up last night to be near the front of the line.
The video also showed where they are setting up the stage and it isn't in front of Independence Hall but will be a block north on the Market Street grassy area next to the Visitor's Center with the music stage running parallel to Market Street. I.e., the performers will have Independence Hall (which is on Chestnut St) as a backdrop whereas the speaker's stage is backing the Visitor's Center. The podium looks to be facing east towards the river.
Visitor's Center (Market St. at the bottom) -
You may be able to go back around where the Constitution Center grassy area is between Arch and Race, assuming that part is open for the public to watch. In the pic below, the beginning of that grassy area is at the bottom where you see the banner (the street near the bottom is Arch) -
Looking the other way at the Constitution Center -
There are federal buildings all around the area so I expect everything will be closed off by Secret Service at those surrounding buildings. Just have to hope they have some jumbotrons down there!
BumRushDaShow
(129,440 posts)That's like 8 blocks with all the little alley streets in between (Walnut, Locust, Spruce, Pine, Lombard, South).

(129,440 posts)- Market Street, from 4th to 7th Street

- 6th Street, Arch to Chestnut Street
http://6abc.com/politics/clintons-obamas-to-hold-final-rally-in-philly-tonight/1592131/
The "entrance" to the venue is supposed to be at 4th & Chestnut (a block east of Independence Hall).
With the strike now over, service is being slowly restored but they noted that the Market-Frankford El will not stop at 5th Street (usual protocol since that is the stop closest to Independence Hall @ 5th & Market)

Can we find it the obamadiary link?
Cha
(297,655 posts)from youtube. If you click on the link in the title and try watching it @ youtube maybe that will work?
In the meantime I'll get the Obama Diary link..
lovemydog
(11,833 posts)I just watched Secretary Clinton's speech on youtube at this link:
Now I'm watching President Obama's speech on youtube at this one:
I must say, President Obama is just riveting for me to watch. Always has been that way, always will be that way. Secretary Clinton for me is sincere and she supports nearly all the same policies and that's what's most important here. I don't need to watch her every speech. I will know that she is working hard to achieve success in the same broad-minded expansive policies supported by most democrats and by my favorite President. That's just my view. I know many others are super fired up seeing her too and won't throw cold water on anyone who also supports by and large the same policies that we do.
Cha
(297,655 posts)in the other post.. I just finished watching Michelle's speech. It was brilliant.. she's the best surrogate Hillary's got. Well the President's not so bad.
lovemydog
(11,833 posts)Michelle is indeed the best surrogate for Hillary and us. You mentioned I might cry and here's where I cried: when she introduced President Obama and they hugged each other. Wow. We are witnessing historic moments here!

Who I'm listening to now.. btw, they have quite the cheerleading squad down front.. you hearing that? lol
He went off on trump magnificently! .. His advisers won't let him Tweet.. why should you trust him with the Nuclear Code?!
And, a strong case for Hillary.. she will help those who need it.. she won't just tweet.
Get rid of Gridlock.. By electing more Dems tomorrow! And Katy McGinty!
Hillary! Talking about Michelle and the President.. and they have served our Nation with Grace, Strength, Brilliance and a whole lot of Cool!
She regrets deeply how angry the tone of the campaign became.. "Not your fault!"
So damn true! Hillary's been all class.. all the way through. Her speech made me tear up, too. She is so on the verge!
This was fun taking notes.. What a case they made for Philly and the Nation!
