Hatchet House and The Axe Box
Am I the only one among us who's a bit concerned to learn that we've decided that whether we're celebrating a loving union or a bitter breakup, its best to have sharp blades nearby? Seeing that readers dubbed Arcata's Hatchet House — where patrons can sip beer and toss hatchets at wooden targets, sometimes affixed with zombie images — as the best place to celebrate a divorce made some sense. I mean, many a divorcee has marked the moment with some libation and destruction. But then realizing readers also selected The Axe Box — a mobile version of the same basic pastime — as the best option for wedding entertainment, well, that threw us a bit, as it doesn't seem customary to witness love's union and then reach for the blades.
But hey, we seem to take pride in doing things a bit differently here. So you do you Humboldt, but whatever life milestone you're marking by chucking a heavy blade through the air, do it responsibly and safely to make sure you and those around you are there for the next one.
