Here are the top three stories in Dallas today:

1. The Dallas Mayor, Police Chief Garcia, and various city officials have announced a new campaign called "Summer of Safety." The campaign will encourage residents to participate in free or low-cost activities to engage the city's youth. The officials urged residents to participate in the city-wide effort to reduce crime by uniting together. (WBAP News/Talk)
2. The Dallas City Council will likely vote next week on a plan meant to bring back electric rentable scooters to Dallas. The city banned the devices due to safety concerns and issues that kept arising about abandoned scooters littering the city's sidewalks. The plan would allow companies that routinely care for the devices to possibly return by October 2022. (FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth)
3. Dallas has experienced a significant increase in murders this year. According to the Dallas Police Department, 110 murders have occurred since the start of the year - 17 more than in 2021. The City Council and the mayor are reviewing ways to address the increase in murders. The Dallas Police Department is responding to calls slower as call numbers are increasing along with a staff shortage. (NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth)

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