Diego-Electric Blue's Mascot
Electric Blue is located at 1034 Story Avenue, and has an interesting reason for its name. It was established in 1907 as the Electric Blueprint and Supply Company – the name coming from the companys’ use of electricity to produce the blue lines. Previously blueprints were painstakingly created by putting blue paper with the original to be reproduced in a glass cylinder which was then exposed to sun to create a “blueprint”.

Most customers come to them for scanning, large printing/lamination projects, or other related projects, and they have had some really neat documents come through their doors. Among the more memorable were old architectural drawings of buildings down to the smallest detail, as well as many old maps of Louisville.
The store has moved locations several times, most recently from next to Pohl Ironworks on Main Street, and have been in their current location since 2006. They appreciate the convienence to the interstates, downtown, and Indiana.
