Wow, thanks for all that mariconsoy. For the record though guagua is perfectly well understood in Spain, even though it is more of a slang term. You wouldn't see it written on the bus stop.

"Bodega" as used in Spain spanish means wine cellar, wine storehouse etc. In american spanish, it means small store/corner market with an undertone of booze being sold there. But am. spanish moved the common usage of "bodega" to just "corner market/small store" There are words and expressions in Spain that are unknown or radically changed elsewhere like in Latin America, and vice versa. For example, in Puerto Rico, Cuba etc bus is refered to a as an, "gua gua" but the spain real word is "autobus" They would understand autobus in Cuba, but not gua gua in Spain.

At least that guy seems to have some skill. Much better than 95% of the crap that gets scribbled around town.

That is a liquor store, not a bodega.
