I'm gonna get me a foam brick and a plaid shirt and let people pay $10 to hit me with a brick at Florence and Normandy.

I thought Sarah Palin was avoiding large cities.

I just called and made my reservations. Anyone want to join me for the tour. I have an extra ticket if anyone wants to go

The nonprofit group plans to offer two-hour tours at an initial cost of $65 per adult, with profits funneled back into the community through jobs, "franchised" tours in new areas and micro-loans to inner-city entrepreneurs. muggings.

AgnosticAngles: I just called and made my reservations. Anyone want to join me for the tour. I have an extra ticket if anyone wants to go

No. But do look out for the brick at Florence and Normandy.

I'd much rather take a bus ride through South Central LA than drive my own car through. I have friends who now live in Vegas who are from that part of Southern California, and even they say they don't want to drive through there.

A note to the South Central thugs: You might take pride in the fact that normal folks are scared of you, but that's nothing you should be proud of. The fact that nobody wants to visit your shiatty, crime-ridden part of town is what keeps your neighborhood and community in the gutter. If you stopped robbing and killing people, you might be able to build a community that has some appeal to visitors, which brings in money and creates jobs. Think about it.

Oh honey, I was so bored with going down to the club every weekend. I'm so glad you booked us on this excitingly quaint tour of the inner city. Look it's an actual "homie", according to this brochure he is "hanging on the corner" as those people are wont to do. Fascinating to see how they live!

This tour is a waste of time and money. Sooner or later (depending on where you live) all American cities will turn into South-Central.

I wish I could see the world like this. It makes things so simple, no need to think.

Ride through prominently african american gang run neighborhoods while paying to do so? No thank you sir!

Too late. Most cities in California and those in neighboring Southwest states already mimic parts of South-Central. South Central just gets more publicity because Hollywood is just next door.

southern78: Ride through prominently african american gang run neighborhoods while paying to do so? No thank you sir!

Sometimes that's the best way to get through those neighborhoods.

65 bucks to see a bunch of losers too mentally weak and stupid to make the right choices in life? Yeah I'll pass.

What they should do is bus all the little kids in the ghetto out into the nicer neighborhoods and tell them, this is where you could end up if you work hard, stay committed to school, and don't join gangs. Then they should take them to the cemetery, prisons, and the even uglier parts of the ghetto, and say this is where 90% of you will end up if you decide to join a gang.

Kevin Malone, a former Dodgers general manager, sits on the board of the Dream Center's charitable arm and has become one of Lomas' chief supporters. Malone said he has become involved in human-rights causes, such as combating human trafficking. He said the possibility of introducing self-sustaining economic development into the city's poorest neighborhoods is no less of a human rights issue.

Demographics of South Central have changed drastically since 1992. Fewer homies, more spics.

You understand thast most gang killings are over territory to sell crack, right? They already have jobs that pay a hell of alot better than your typical cubicle rat. Tax free. And work is considered rolling around town high all day with your homies and hoes blastin' your competition.

Which career path do you think appeals more to adoloscent and uneducated teens?

The part about the article that really cracked me up was how they were going to use the proceeds to make 'microloans' to 'inner city entrepreneuers,' which is political correct code for hooking up your homie with drug money. The part about sending a vandal graffitti artist to art school was pretty good too.

These people are farking worthless and always will be. There is enough social mobility in that city to get out of the ghetto if they really don't like the lifestyle.

Here's a picture of the bus after it's last tour

This sounds pretty much like an African-American/Mexican people zoo.

I'm thinking I should get a bus full of white ghetto wiggah wannabees who spend their days "representin'" in front of the Pottery Barn at the mall and drop them off in the middle of the South Side of Chicago or Detroit. Yes, that would be delightful.

Byn: In Vancouver, BC the Downtown East Side is "the poorest postal code in Canada". It is rife with poverty, prostitution, HIV infection, drugs, etc... and is a place that people generally avoid, as it is not all that safe. However, the tourism guides love to say sh*t like this:

There's no argument that Vancouver's East Side has character - enough to make Harry Dean Stanton jealous, in fact... but with diverse elements such as Commercial Drive, Chinatown, Strathcona and the Pacific National Exhibition, it's no surprise that east of Cambie is as famous for its gritty authenticity as it is for its history...So go ahead, hang a right off of Cambie Street. Vancouver's East Side is something worth experiencing!

Drives me mental.

Well, having been to East Van and various bad neighborhoods in the US, I'd take East Van in a heart beat. Even Strathcona (let alone Commercial Drive or Chinatown) isn't anywhere near as screwed up as the bad areas of Baltimore or LA. Even South Seattle/Rainer Valley gives East Van a good name, and it's mild as far as US bad neighborhoods go. Shoot, East Van may be the poorest part of Canada, but it was cleaner and better kept than the poor neighborhoods I've been to in Montreal. At least in East Van there wasn't dog mess all over the sidewalks, and the panhandlers usually stopped harassing you after you told them you were broke.

Make sure you give 'em all Depends first.

Actually, tourism is often how such places begin to be recovered.
