The District Weekly folds: The Long Beach Post is reporting that the District Weekly, a Long Beach alternative weekly publication, is shutting down. Here is an excerpt:
The District Weekly was known throughout Long Beach for its no-holds-barred investigative reports into politics and development, as well as a creative and witty style of writing that fit the traditional alt-weekly mold. Its reporters also had a firm grasp on the local entertainment and nightlife scene, also drawing praise for detailed profiles and fascinating features.
