an excerpt from Stilettos and Steel “The cafeteria on Turk and Taylor Street was my favorite place to rendezvous. It was a convenient meeting spot in the heart of the Tenderloin.  Any time was a good time, since it was open twenty-four, seven.  The corner was a mecca for every variety of street people, including the young runaways who panhandled in front of the restaurant. Compton’s had large windows that ran the full length of the cafeteria, which made it an ideal location to check out the street action.  The cooks and servers were immune to the hard drag butches, dolled-up femmes, flamboyant queens and army of hippies and bikers that lingered inside over cups of coffee.  Besides the folks talking shit into the wee hours of the morning were the tricks who scurried in and out before going next door to the conveniently located Camelot Hotel.  The employees and patrons nonchalantly watched the endless transactions of the commerce of sex and drugs that took place in the brightly lit eatery."
