For the first time, the true crime archeologists of Esotouric and 1947project have set their sights on points west of Robertson, and the results are truly astonishing. In this new tour spotlighting some of the weirdest, most horrific and downright unbelievable crimes of historic West Los Angeles, you’ll thrill and shudder to tales of teenage girl gangs, tortured tots, wicked wives, evil spirits, cults, creeps and assorted maniacs on a tour so wild, we had to say it twice. Seats are $55/each (15% off for KCRW members) from www.esotouric.com

Re: Wild Wild West Side true crime tour 2/16
Mon, February 11, 2008 - 7:15 AMHmm, I don't know about other Venetians, but I would probably not find myself "thrilling and shuddering" to tales of crimes that have happened in my own hometown. Why would I want to glorify the sensationalism? I looked at the Website and honestly I can't really say I'm in support of such a tour topic. Really, if people are now turning a profit because of the dreadful crimes perpetrated here, isn't that more macabre than anything else?
This is in unbelievably poor taste. Seems very opportunistic. But then again, that's just one person's opinion.
