Hot Flash of America, 2351 Market Street, was an influential and much loved art gallery, eclectic gift shop and hair salon on Market Street in the Castro. In its heyday it hosted many gatherings and events, with great drinks and hors-dourves. Owner Wakefield Poole was a well-known artist and gay porn filmmaker in the 70s, as well as friend and neighbor of Harvey Milk's. There was always lots to "look at" at the Hot Flash, and their shirts (a take on the Arm and Hammer baking soda logo) were an essential item in every Castro dude's wardrobe in the Castro of the 70s & early 80s (pairing well with a tight pair of Levis and a full mustache).
