Morning, neighbors! here with the Tuesday issue of the Glen Burnie Daily.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and less humid. High: 77 Low: 54.

Here are the top stories in Glen Burnie today:

  2. Congratulations to the winner of this amazing scratch off lottery ticket. The ticket was sold at a Carroll County liquor store. The ticket is worth $5.1 million. (Fox Baltimore)
  3. Saturday night at Arundel Mills Mall was quite exciting... though not the type of excitement most people want. Three teens are suspected of being responsible for an armed robbery at the mall. The teens followed two people around until they eventually assaulted and robbed the victims. Anyone with information, please contact the police. (News Break)
  4. Anne Arundel County has been busy lately and not in a good way. The press release shows several things of interest: a weapons offense in Brooklyn, a strong-arm robbery in Millersville, robbery of a citizen in Hanover and an assault in Severn. (A.A. County Press Release)
  5. A suspect in the shooting of a 19-year-old man at Sweet Peaz Restaurant has been announced. It is believed that the man's stepfather is responsible for the shooting. The police are still looking for the suspect. (Fox Baltimore)

Are you a Glen Burnie resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?

Bloomberg recently asked experts where they'd invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.

Thinking you can't afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.

Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here's why:

  • Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
  • Contemporary art historically returns 23.2 percent when inflation is >3 percent
  • Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164 percent (1995-2021)

From my notebook:

  • Today is "Dinosaur Day" and "Armed Forces Week." Have you ever found any dinosaur bones? If possible, thank an active service or veteran for their service. (Holidays and Observations)
  • Mission BBQ in Glen Burnie is the original restaurant that has led the way for many stores to open along the East Coast. They are best known for its dedication to active service persons and veterans. This week they are celebrating "Armed Forces Week." Visit their many locations to look at the wall of heroes, get great food and thank the people of our military. (Mission BBQ)
  • Did dinosaurs roam in our great state of Maryland? The answer to that question is... yes! In fact, Maryland had a dinosaur ecosystem that existed in 110 million years ago. In 1995, the Astrodon became the Maryland State Dinosaur! (PG Parks)
