For anyone reading tea leaves looking for the next direction of the economy – in particular, consumer activity – an ominous trend emerges from second quarter bankruptcy filings in Memphis.

He dubbed the store Dylan Blue in honor of his then-infant grandson of the same name. A garrulous, storytelling man with a thick handlebar moustache and a passion for one-of-a-kind, handmade art, his store broke even in its first 30 days.
