NEW YORK – The first and only Black-owned business along the Madison Avenue shopping corridor is closing shop. This is the final week in the storefront for ArtBag Creations, but the owners will continue to serve the community with craftsmanship.

ArtBag Creations president Chris Moore said the decision did not come lightly.

“The rents in New York are just too high,” Moore said.

After more than 60 years stitching and painting handbags on Madison Avenue, the Moore family is flocking south.

“We needed to find something with less taxes and that we would still be near our core customers,” said Moore. “Luckily enough, many of our customers live in Florida and New York.”

Moore started working with his dad, Donald, at ArtBag Creations when he was 6 years old. The family has grown alongside the neighbors who are closer than just clients. The elder Moore said he will miss his customers the most.

“I’ve seen little kids grow up to be mothers, and they have their children and their children,” added his son. “It’s been amazing. But I didn’t realize how much we meant to the community until we decided that we were going to make going to make this

US bond market flashes warning signal of economic slowdown

The Treasury bond market flashed a warning signal on Tuesday and investors piled into haven assets, evidence of the fears of potential recession that have gripped global markets.

Yields on 10-year US government bonds slumped below those on two-year notes for the third time this year. So-called inversions of the yield curve have preceded every US recession in the past 50 years — not immediately, but within the subsequent two years.

Investor sentiment has weakened in recent days on signs that the persistent inflation that has elevated prices of products from fuel to food, along with rising borrowing costs as the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, are taking a heavier toll on businesses and households.

A survey late last week from the Institute for Supply Management on the US manufacturing sector pointed to declines last month in new orders and employment, intensifying concerns about the state of the world’s largest economy.

Fiala ‘excited’ to start next step in NHL career with L.A.

Kevin Fiala didn’t concentrate on his future with the Wild last season while he was playing.

“I just tried to have fun with the guys,” Fiala said. “Just tried to win some games. That was my main focus.”

But in the back of his mind, he did wonder what would happen and ultimately realized the team wouldn’t be keeping him, a split that was finalized last week when the Wild traded Fiala to Los Angeles.

“It is what it is right now,” Fiala said Tuesday during a video call with reporters. “To be honest, I’m really excited right now for this new chapter.”

This fresh start with the Kings comes with a seven-year, $55.125 million contract, a lucrative commitment indicative of Fiala’s rise with the Wild.

After arriving from Nashville in 2019 in exchange for Mikael Granlund, the winger was a dynamic scorer during back-to-back 20-goal campaigns before notching a career-high 33 last season. His 52 assists and 85 points were also personal bests, but the surge in production wasn’t the only change. Fiala, who struggled with turnovers at times during his Wild tenure, was also sharper defensively and even helped out on the penalty kill.

“I thought it was

Create a marketing plan

Although it may seem obvious, your marketing efforts will probably go in vain if you don’t have a marketing plan. Your marketing plan should align with your business targets.

For instance, if you want to market to clients who need tax assistance, or you want to contact small businesses with fewer than 20 employees, include it in your plan. Also, set up short-term and long-term goals to evaluate your progress.
