Chicopee, MA

September 4, 2018

A small town with a funny name in Massachusetts. Famous to me when I lived in Upstate NY because, it was the closet Chic-fil-a. I stopped here more times than I can remember for that purpose. But only once stopped to see the streets and historic buildings.

Probably the most “Artsy” art studio I’ve seen. A unique building fitting perfectly between the street and the parking lot.

The White Door

I’m not sure what first caught my eye with this one. It could be that I was unsure if people were living here. I saw the AC units in the windows but, I also saw the boarded up windows on the bottom

Chicopee Public Library

New England has got some great architecture throughout the 6 states. Here in Chicopee this one definitely has some history.

City Hall

City Hall

I took these because I love to shoot churches. Even though city hall has taken over its clear to see this was something else once before. Also the stain glass windows are sadly covered up..

I have to say this wasn’t my favorite town to be in. I got yelled at and then spit at by a man walking by. I was careful not to point my camera in his direction but still continued to be yelled at. When you’re in a place for such a short time and that happens, it kind of sticks with you.

Coffee?

Coffee?

Finding a local coffee shop while on the road always makes those few moments of a day a little better.
