Good morning, Glen Burnie! What day is it? It's Wednesday!

First, today's weather:

Clouds giving way to some sun. High: 54 Low: 48. Flip flop weather anyone?

Here are the top 4 stories in Glen Burnie today:

  1. Anne Arundel County Executive Pittman announced two solar and renewable energy initiatives. This bill will provide the county with clean electricity and cost savings for the next 25 years. It is projected to provide $6.75 million in taxpayer savings. (wmar2news.com)
  2. Are you in need of a furry friend? Adoption and fostering are options. The Glen Burnie Area Shelters have many animals to choose. (Glen Burnie Patch)
  3. Audrey Ridgell Somers was a writer for The Enterprise newspaper for 45 years. Fifteen years ago, she adopted a dog from a Glen Burnie shelter. Lassie has been a longtime companion to the wheelchair bound Somers and Lassie needs medical care. Can anyone help? (SoMdNews.com)
  4. March is not leaving without a fight! A storm system will affect the area on Thursday with a few forms of hazardous weather. Strong winds, thunderstorms and flooding could happen in our region. (Foots Forecast/Facebook)

Where should you invest as a Glen Burnie resident with a $149,000 nest egg? Thanks to a change in the legal code, there's a new investment Glen Burnie residents need to know about. In fact, Bloomberg asked experts where they'd invest $100,000 right now and many of them chose it.

This may surprise you, but it's fine art.

Growing your nest egg with art isn't new. Wealthy families like the Rockefellers have done it for centuries.

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)

Translation: Art could be one of the best investments for uncertain times.

Luckily for you, we found Masterworks. This revolutionary platform lets you invest in art by Warhol, Monet, Picasso without spending millions.

The best part? Anyone from your area can skip their waitlist*.
