Here are the top three stories today in Mobile:

1. The Mobile Police Department is training its officers to understand and handle mentally ill people. The trainings were conducted through AltaPointe Health Systems and are meant to allow law enforcement to be proactive while dealing with mental health issues. If you believe a loved one is mentally ill or is becoming so, please call 251-450-2211. (NBC 15 WPMI)
2. The Mobile Museum Of Art has opened a new site-specific installation. A Nest of One's Own was conceived and fabricated by Dixon Stetler — an Alabama native. The installation combines recycling, creativity, and playfulness into one exhibit meant to address social issues throughout the community. (Press Release Desk)
3. Feeding the Gulf Coast will be hosting a food distribution event on Sunday at the Christian Service Center's Gulf Shores headquarters. Anyone is welcome to attend and pick up a mixture of fresh produce and dry goods. The event will be a drive-through operation to minimize contact. (Mulletwrapper)

Are you a Mobile 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 Mobile Daily readers can skip the waitlist.
