OC Weekly, an Orange County and Long Beach alt-weekly magazine in publication since 1995, has reportedly been shuttered by its owners, the Duncan McIntosh Company, the day before Thanksgiving.

A tweet from the @OCWeekly Twitter account on Wednesday afternoon read, "Adios Motherf—s! Today, the day before Thanksgiving, our owner Duncan McIntosh Company has decided to shut us down. For the last quarter century, we’ve tried to bring good stories to Orange County. It’s been fun, but now we’re done."

Accompanying the text was an image of Will Smith standing in an empty room, a still from "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."

Gabriel San Román, a staff writer at OC Weekly, echoed the initial tweet, adding, "I’m grateful for my time as a Weekling and appreciative of all the opportunities to tell stories other outlets wouldn’t."

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
