Located along the Connecticut River, Chicopee lies between Holyoke and Springfield and is bisected by the Mass Turnpike. My best friend's family lives here, part of a significant Polish immigrant community, and it is has a definite working class, suburban feel to it. I only managed to take pictures in the Chicopee Center area, the official "downtown", but, the city itself is made up of a cluster of older communities with their own neighborhood centers.
