Are you a man or women ? Black. white, Latino ?

I am a white guy and I would NEVER be walking around Watts or South Central in the dark, and for sure looking like a tourist !

I doubt Watts Towers is open at night ,

If you just want to see "the Hood" well you are probably staying right next to it in Inglewood !

Just walk down Century Blvd , ( the street the Airport is on ) over to Inglewood which is right next to the Airport , once you go under the train tracks at Aviation Blvd. you are there !

If you just want to see South Central its probably safe to get on the city bus , and stay on the bus till it ends then head back.

Paranoid ???? YES I am , I have lived in the Airport area all my life !
Others will say its completely safe , well maybe they can meet you at the Airport and give you a tour

But I would never send someone I liked over there in the dark.
