Tour of LA slums and gang sites sold out, lunch included but not guns or bullet-wound insuranceNominee

Finally an even more kitsch alternative to visiting Hollywood homes: gang tourism. You can see the LA County Jail, Skid Row (home to 90,000 homeless people) and gang hangouts instead.  Couldn’t get tickets to a game show? How about checking out the top crime scene locations instead.

On the upside, the tour hopes to  create jobs for residents and hand back a percentage of the profits.

Just make sure you’re covered by travel insurance.  To join the tour ($65 with lunch), you’ll need to sign the mother of all waivers.
