As Pallucca’s once again changes ownership, this week I’m publishing Mark Matarazzi’s memories provided in response to my call for recollections of Pallucca’s back in 2008, just before it changed over from a grocery store to a deli. As was written in his 2014 obituary, Mark held the Frontenac / Pittsburg area near to his heart, keeping up with relatives, friends and local interests. He was always willing to share a story related to the area's past or present. — J.T. Knoll
