An update on the Jane Fonda-”Union Street” flap in western Massachusetts: Days after the aldermen of Holyoke passed a resolution protesting Jane Fonda’s professional presence there, Chicopee Mayor Joseph J. Chessey Jr. said he believes that his town’s aldermen may do the same thing. “She has all the right in the world to come to Chicopee. But I do believe the veterans have a constitutional right to protest her visit,” Chessey said. “I just don’t want it to give the city a bad name.” Chicopee and Holyoke have been chosen as backdrop for a few scenes in the movie “Union Street” because of their 19th-Century canals.
