🌱 Man Stabbed On UTA Platform + Food Pantry + SLC Property For Sale

The quickest way to get caught up on the most important things happening today in Salt Lake City.

Good morning, everybody! I'm here with your new copy of the Salt Lake City Daily. Here's everything you need to know about what's happening in town.


First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and hot. High: 96, low: 72.


Here are the top stories today in Salt Lake City:

  1. A man was stabbed at a North Temple UTA station early Wednesday morning and two suspects were taken into custody. The UTA said that two men and a woman got into a verbal argument on the train platform that became physical when the male suspect stabbed the victim several times. The man who was stabbed was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. (ABC4.com)
  2. The Murray Children's Pantry has been providing free meals to people of all ages in need without question since the pandemic started. Jim Brass, president of the pantry, said that they give out 1,000 to 1,500 meals each week. The pantry is located at 170 East 5770 South in Murray and is open on Tuesdays and every third Saturday from 10 a.m.-noon. (KUTV 2News)
  3. Salt Lake City continues to be a hot real estate market, and five new listings have just surfaced. At the entry to the market is a 2-bedroom, 1005 square feet condo in The Stansbury for $405,000. At the upper end in rural development, 57.92 acres in Morgan County are for sale for $2.45 million.

Are you a Salt Lake City 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 percent when inflation is >3 percent
  • Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164 percent (1995-2021)
