Forget Universal Studios, let's go to the hood.

Via BlackBookMag I stumbled a cross an article that caught my attention being that I live in Southern Cali now. There's an organization in LA that will arrange a day for you to experience what a day in the life of a thug is life. You pay $65 (originally $100) and will tour these areas:

BE THE FIRST IN THE HISTORY OF LOS ANGELES TO EXPERIENCE AREAS THAT WERE FORBIDDEN
...UNTIL NOW!

LA GANG TOURS scheduled stops include:

1. The Los Angeles County Jail
2. The Los Angeles River Bed
3. The Metropolitan Detention Center
4. The Symbionese Liberation Army Shoot Out
5. Florencia 13
6. Birthplace of Black Panther Party
7. Florence District
8. Florence Avenue
9. Firestone Sheriff Station
10. Hall of Justice Jail
11. Pico Union Graff Lab (Graffiti Lab)

Supposedly the money goes to help former gang members create jobs for themselves and help the 'hood.
