Here are the top three stories today in Dallas:

1. A Dallas City Council committee is pushing for a resolution in support of the transgender community. The Quality of Life Committee is pushing for the city attorney to draft a new resolution that will "prohibit the city from discriminating against transgender and non-binary people." The resolution will also bar discrimination against transgender people at the state, federal, or local policy level. "The city took a step today to tell the state legislator that keeps trying to pass laws to discriminate," Councilman Chad West said. "We took a step today to tell them enough is enough. We need to treat everyone equally." (FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth)
2. A dessert shop devoted to waffles and ice cream is coming to Uptown Dallas. The Dolly Llama, a waffle-and-ice-cream chain from Southern California, is making its Texas debut at 2817 Howell St. #210 soon. The Dolly Llama will offer two unique waffle styles: an authentic Belgian Liege waffle and a Hong Kong Bubble Waffle, which creates a unique crispy and custard-like texture. See the ice cream flavors to look forward to at the link and mark your calendars for late April! (CultureMap Dallas)

From our sponsor:

Where should you invest as a Dallas resident with a $149,000 nest egg? Thanks to a change in the legal code, there's a new investment Dallas 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*.
