Reply to comment by idiomaddict in TIL the way NYC has bodegas, Australia has milk bars. Modeled initially on American soda fountains, they’ve been on the decline since the 70s due to competition from supermarkets by idiomaddict
Okay, but is what I described in any way similar to a bodega? To me, bodega conjures images of people proud to live somewhere that inflames poverty.

The ubiquity of them and their cultural importance to Australia is/was similar to how bodegas in New York are. It’s a paraphrase from the article.
