About the image
"In the late 1970s and early '80s, a stretch of Polk Street was temporarily transformed. Glamorization and gentrification there and elsewhere (the Upper Fillmore, South of Market) paralleled the higher profile of the city's sizable gay population. Even the humblest storefronts had their moments on the stage. This one, true to its name, came and went rapidly." - Erik S. McMahon
