The Walker's Point Cafe was extremely popular after bar time, when many people, slightly tipsy, would converge and take in the atmosphere. It was opened by Michael Roberts (aka "Miss M.") where the Ski Glow Cafe had previously been for about 14 years. Miss M. closed the Cafe in May 1987, but it reopened in mid-June under new management, Roberto and Kimann, who pledged 24-hour service "no ifs, ands, or buts". George Kreuzer bought the business in September 1992, and owned and operated it until he closed it June 26th, 1998 (he moved to Portland Oregon shortly after). More information about this business is welcomed from anyone who can contribute it. Recollections: The following are recollections of others who have been kind enough to submit their personal memories to the webmaster. You are welcome to do the same! (Recollections collected and organized by Jamie Taylor.) --------
Jamie Taylor recalls: "During the café’s hay day, lots of twinks (aged mostly 17 – early 20’s) patronized the place. It was a place where they could meet other gays their age. (You didn’t need to be 21 to get in.) It was particularly busy around 7pm and then again at bar closing. Chris Hammerbeck and I used to go there to scope out the guys. We used to sneak in a little bottle of booze to mix with a soda we bought. We would have a couple there then hit the bars. Well the kids (as I called them due to my age) didn’t spend a lot of money there. Mostly nursing a soda all night and that didn’t help the café’s bottom line. So, eventually the bills stacked up too high. George pretty much just walked away from the business not telling anyone. We just noticed it wasn’t open anymore. We know he left town within days of closing. "Since then it sat empty for awhile but now houses a Nextel phone store." --------
George Kreuzer recalls: "Hmmm! you saw me picking my nose while I was making meat balls? lol... I can't remember... lol... I'm old and elderly now..." |
