Hello, people of Burlington! Danielle Fallon here with the latest copy of the Burlington Daily.

First, today's weather:

Cooler with a few showers. High: 62 Low: 45.

Here are the top three stories in Burlington today:

1. A series of pop-up dinners will be occurring out of Burlington's Maudite Poutine beginning on Wednesday. The shared kitchen space is located at 156 North Winooski Avenue. Tickets to the special dinners are by advance purchase for each week's international dinner. Click the link for ticket information and each week's theme. (Seven Days)
2. Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger has released a statement regarding Act 250 reforms. According to the mayor, he is grateful for the Governor taking a stand on the city's affordable housing crisis. The mayor hopes that the legislature will work with Burlington in devising a new plan to protect the environment, while providing more housing. (City of Burlington, VT (.gov))
3. A Burlington apartment building was demolished on Monday due to fire damage. The King Street apartment building was involved in two different tragic fires that took the lives of two residents. The latest fire was in February 2022 which caused enough fire damage for the building to be condemned. (WCAX)

Are you a Burlington 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% when inflation is >3%
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)

To learn more, visit Masterworks.io, where Burlington Daily readers can skip the waitlist.
