Dear Craig,
It's quite interesting that I found your site on the net, because many aspects of your site is associated with my life at present. I was searching for poverty in Fitzroy Melbourne on the net because some reporters came to the housing estate and was interviewing residents and others about poverty in the commission housing on 90 Brunswick St, and as I happen to work in the milk bar under those flats, I learnt from the reporters that according to the previous census conducted, this was the most disadvantaged place in Melbourne in terms of income. It was shocking discovery was not at all surprising. It was great to read about the history of Fitzroy in milk bar, a place which I've come to accept, appreciate in the two and a half years which my father has run the milk bar under the commision flats. The interesting mixture of people whom I've interacted with in the shop has taught me alot about Fitzroy, Australia, the World and my place in each of those places. Sadly, the government is not granting us an extension of our lease which means we are loosing our family business, but I heared that they might be turning the shop into a community centre, so hopefully it will be of good use to the residents in the estate whom we've gotten to know over the years. The description of a milk bar is exactly as described in the comments. It was a pleasure to view your site
