The stereotypical sales technique of a hooker is to stand on a street corner, usually wearing lots of makeup, high heels, and a skimpy outfit that leaves very little to the imagination. While in polite society such an outfit would generally be considered "tacky", or in poor taste, the intended result is to stimulate the lascivious impulses of men in the hope that they will stop at the street corner and inquire as to the price of the hooker's services. I believe MD was insinuating that his classmate was prostituting herself on the weekend, and wanted to know which street corner she was working.
