An extinct fishing village, the Polish flats, German Heritage, the Homeless of Southeastern Winsconsin, and the African American neighborhood of Bronzeville: Anthropologists offer Cultural backstreet tours! (source).

These tours are arranged by Urban Anthropology Inc. (UrbAn), an American non-profit organization, "a community based membership association dedicated to the celebration of cultural diversity and a holistic approach to urban problem-solving". Their website provides lots of information incl presentation of the tour guides and their study on homeless people
