Hey, Reno. I'm here in your inbox per usual to get you caught up on everything you need to know about what's going on in town. Hope you all have a great day. Without further ado...

First, today's weather:

Hot. High: 94 Low: 60.

📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Reno who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Reno Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top stories today in Reno:

  1. Craving some unique bites to eat? Food Truck Friday at Idlewild Park is back! Starting today, the local food celebration will run every Friday until Aug. 26. Opening night will be from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and over 45 food trucks, trailers, and pop-ups will be there. Free parking is available at all the lots on Foster Drive from Booth Street to Hunter Lake — get your munch on and check this event out. (Reno Gazette Journal)
  2. Two are behind bars after the Regional Narcotics Unit arrested the Sparks locals on drug and child endangerment charges. The 25-year-olds were in possession of a loaded weapon, fentanyl, methamphetamines, and a "large number" of Xanax pills, according to police. A two-year-old child was also present at the scene when the two were arrested. (KOLO)
  3. Things are heating up in the Reno-Tahoe area. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory as temperatures are expected to near 100 degrees in Reno. If the temperature does reach that height, it would be a new all-time record, according to the National Weather Service records. Temperatures are expected to cool down by Sunday.

From our sponsor:

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