Cheesecake venture sweetens
in spite of sour 1980s economy
DAINGERFIELD (AP) — An
abandoned former downtown hard
ware and auto parts store hardly
seems an appropriate setting for one
of the fastest growing businesses in
Morris County.
But Laura’s Cheesecakes, a by
product of late 1980s Texas eco
nomic development efforts in one of
the state’s most depressed econ
omies, is flourishing beyond every
one’s expectations on the strength of
combined family recipes used by two
Daingerfield natives.
Laura and Walter Bass began
making their own variety of cheese
cakes and selling them in Shreve
port, La., Texarkana, Tyler and
Longview area restaurants out of
their Longview home in 1981.
In 1988, when Daingerfield was
selected as one of five official Texas
Main Street cities by the Texas His
torical Commission, the Basses saw
an opportunity to shift their cheese
cake venture into something more
than a hobby that brought in extra
income to supplement their regular
jobs.
Main Street cities are selected an
nually on the basis of economic need
and city wide commitment to restor
ing the original architectural integ
rity of downtown buildings.
With the help of a local attorney,
Steve Cowan, an empty downtown
building was refurbished and deco
rated in the company’s distinctive
pink, hot pink and green color
scheme and, two years later, Laura’s
Cheesecakes has evolved into a full
time business that has grown from
four employees to 1 1.
. Their cheesecakes
shipped to every stale.

? No excuses’ runoff voting begins
AUSTIN (AP) — The runoff elec
tions for statewide offices aren’t un-
April 10, but voting already has
begun.
Balloting under the state’s “no ex
cuses” absentee voting law began
Monday, with more Democrats than
Republicans expected to go to the
polls.
Democrats are choosing a nomi
nee for governor between state
Treasurer Ann Richards and Attor
ney General Jim Mattox.
Officials in the secretary of state’s
office said Texans who voted in the
Democratic or Republican primary
on March 13 must vote in the same
party’s runoff. Citizens who didn’t
vote in either primary may cast their
ballots in either party’s runoff.
Runoff races also are being held
for legislative nominations and for
other offices around the state.
Besides the Democratic guberna
torial runoff, statewide races being
decided on April 10 include:
• Democratic state treasurer
nominee, between Nikki Van High
tower and Tom Bowden.
• Democratic Supreme Court
justice, Place 2, Ross Sears and Bob
Gammage.
