Good morning, hello! I'm back with your fresh copy of the Buckhead Daily. Here are all the most important things to know about what's happening in town. First, today's weather: A gusty t-storm in the p.m.. High: 97 Low: 78. Here are the top three stories today in Buckhead: Regular health inspections are crucial to keeping a community safe. Recently, the Burger King located in McDonough failed their's with 66 points and scored a "U," meaning unsatisfactory. Not only were there issues with cleanliness and food preparation, but there was actually an old health score of 97 that was posted inside of the restaurant rather than the score of 66. However, the local Buckhead restaurant Café Agora received a perfect score on their latest inspection. This is the second 100 they have gotten, and due to their consistency, great food, and cleanliness, they received the Golden Spatula Award from CBS 46.

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 Buckhead Daily readers can skip the waitlist.
