I am a super fan of the Rocksburg mysteries series of novels first evolving from Chief Mario Balzic and continuing with Detective Rugs Carlucci. These series of crime novels skillfully weave words into masterful dialogue and intriguing plots capturing the raw flavor of a great gritty crime novel.
Titles like
The Man Who Liked Slow Tomatoes,
The Rocksburg Railroad Murders, and one of Carl Constantine Kosak's (K.C. Constantine) best installments in the series,
Good Sons make for interesting reading any time of year.
It got me to thinking, if Detective Carlucci weren't a fictional character, would he stop buy Bottom Dollar Food at 1100 Chartiers Ave in Rocksburg, PA during his daily patrols to pick up some snacks, juices, a banana, some Coke products for the police station's office size refrigerator?
Since in my opinion, he is one of the best fictional detectives written about in the past twenty years, I'd think he'd get a Bottom Dollar membership and through his leadership, most of the rest of the force would be regular Bottom Dollar Food customers as well, or at least their wives would be doing the family grocery shopping there.
It's no mystery that every time you shop Bottom Dollar Food, you save so much money that to some, it would appear to be down right criminal. Shopping smart isn't a crime, shopping any where else might be a crime of stupidity.
The good citizens of McKees Rocks realize when it comes to saving money on their total grocery bill, following the Flying Piggy Bank is the only way to go.
It's the absolute best way to keep more money in your wallet. It's just one of many great reasons to be Bottom Dollar Food smart.
I just Carl Constantine would write just one final installment. He has left us hanging in suspense for so many years.
ReplyDeleteWith all the major changes and developments having taken place in both the real and fictional Rocksburg in the past five years, a final tribute to the fine characters he has introduced over the years would be fitting and appropriate.
