Modifier Nouns???

Can someone explain modifier nouns to me briefly and explicitly?

And a few usage tips.

In this sentence, 'a black alley abortion' black alley is a modifier noun.However, I can't figure out how it is used.

Do we use modifier nouns as adjectives?If yes then there must be exceptions to their usage.Can anyone explain that?Please.
