Hollywood? Forget stars, see the gangs
A new company without any visible stars is adding a new dimension to Hollywood: tours of gang-turf.
L.A. Gang Tours next month will begin offering bus tours to tourists of some of the city’s most notorious neighborhoods, giving them what they describe as "a true first-hand encounter of the history and origin of high profile gang areas and the top crime scene locations."
Some of those locations include the LA County Jail, the L.A. River, the Metropolitan Detention Center, Skid Row, Florencia 13, Florence Avenue, and the Pico Union Graff Lab, among others.
According to the L.A. Times, the idea was created by a group of civic activists that believe "that the poor economy in the interior of Los Angeles is a social injustice."
The non-profit group’s website says they hope the Gang Tours help to "create jobs for the residents of South Central, Los Angeles" and use the money to give back "to these areas for economic growth and development."
