🌱Axel The Abandoned Puppy Is Up For Adoption + Real Estate News

Hello, people of Pawtucket! Karena Garrity here with the Wednesday copy of thePawtucket Daily.

First, today's weather:

Some sun, then clouds. High: 49 Low: 38.

Here are the top four stories in Pawtucket today:

1. Axel, the 4-month-old Chihuahua puppy who was allegedly abandoned, on the side of the road on the eve of a snowstorm by Pawtucket resident Dominque Scott, is now the unofficial mascot of North Attleboro police. He is reportedly in good health after being treated for mange and malnutrition and is up for adoption. (The Sun Chronicle)
2. The weekly roundup of properties on the market in the Pawtucket area. Are you looking to move? (Pawtucket Patch)
3. Nathan Cooper, 53, of Providence is being held without bail pending his next court date. He is accused of murdering his girlfriend, 40-year-old Sherbert Maddox. Her body was found by police in Cooper's refrigerator, six days after she was shot. She was wrapped in blankets and cellophane. (Providence Patch)
4. Milk is one of the most highly requested items at food pantries. To feed that need, Garelick farms donated 100,000 shelf-stable "Giving Cow" milk cartons to the Rhode Island Community Food Bank. Giving Cow cartons are even better for food pantries than fresh milk because they have a shelf life of up to 12 months. Fresh milk only has a shelf life of 20 days. (WPRI.com)

From our sponsor:

Where should you invest as a Pawtucket resident with a $149,000 nest egg? Thanks to a change in the legal code, there’s a new investment Pawtucket 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% when inflation is >3%
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (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*.
