A new sport has set up shop next to the Rec Room adding to the area’s eclectic social scene. Civil Axe Throwing, owned by Jorge and Erin Lima, is Memphis’ first axe throwing venue. After opening locations in Chattanooga and Huntsville and Birmingham, Alabama, Lima expanded to Memphis with an official opening last week.
