It might be interesting.
The city could do tours (daytime of course) with armed security - maybe some off duty police officers to add color and fear.
And guides with perky attitudes that switch to scary on a dime - likes the guides at Disney World's Haunted House. Everyone could sell tourist trap souvenirs - - maybe some broken shards of the burned out CVS?
A talking mannequin (like at Disney World) could explain what happens to people who snitch... and a 'gang member' could sign autographs for five bucks each... Hat's and tee shirts with black culture phrases would be available... for a price. I see a money maker....
They could hire actors like they do for the old west train rides, outlaws on horses who chase down the train and rob it.
