Blue City Image Services - Where 2020 Ballots Were Printed Burned to the Ground 12/25/2020

It is a tad odd they go up in smoke. Used to use them for blueprint copying.

After fire, City Blue Imaging prepares to look for a new space

The owner of a Rochester printing company which has deep roots in the city is working to regroup and stay in business after a devastating fire on Christmas Eve.

It’s not what you might expect to hear from an owner of a company which burned to the ground, but Mark Cleary, president of City Blue Imaging said that he actually feels “blessed.” He uses that word not only because there were no serious injuries as dozens of firefighters fought a huge fire at his company’s facility on Scio Street on Thursday night, but because so many people have reached out via phone, text and social media to support City Blue and its staff.

“Several of my competitors, the people from Canfield & Tack especially, have reached out to me personally and said, we are here for you guys, if you need us.” Cleary said that he will hire other printing companies to reprint jobs he had that were pending when the fire hit.


At the same time, he said that City Blue Imaging expects to look for a new location. Cleary said with the trend in Rochester’s East End moving toward housing and not as much manufacturing, he’d like to look for a new spot in the city and this time, lease a building, rather than build a new one.

“Maybe it’s just time for us to find a smaller space and we’ll kind of work on what we can do creatively to clean up and just take it from there.” But Cleary emphasized the nearly century-old company definitely wants to remain in the city. “Much of our customers are still very much in the core of the city so I would just want to find a place that would be able to handle our equipment and that had a dock and then I’d be happy.”

Heard this yesterday. Tried to find a real source that Blue City Image printed 2020 ballots, couldnt find anything. Can you link a source other than twitter?

Really very interesting if true.

nothing will come of this

Biden will be inaugurated


going to come here and laugh so hard that day

Just another coincidence. Just like the other 100 strange election related incidents that some people might consider strange but not Democrats!

Move along now or we will have to lower your citizenship score.

Things that make ya go "Hmmm ..."

Congratulations, the Democrats won the only way they could : dishonestly.

That's a clone. Biden was executed a while ago.

You won’t last long.

Nothing to see. Move along.

Then why aren’t you laughing now?

The entire building, including all four corners, got burnt to a crisp and leveled. Hmm.

Another dew weapon strike?

They can burn whatever they want. America has plenty of evidence, and they aint stoppin

This is the worse script I have ever read.

Place burned good. For a building to burn that good while water being dumped must have had some help

Funny how the children forget about the armed American men. All 1000,000,000+ of them

Dude says... it's just baffling, we can't find one recognizable piece of equipment.

I've seen printing equipment and taken apart some presses. you'd need heat above 2600F to melt some of that stuff and theres NOTHING in a structure like that which would come close to that temp - NOTHING. I don't care what chemicals they have, if they had a blast furnace they were dumping equipment in, then MAYBE the stuff would be destroyed like that. This reminds me of the "wildfires" in Cali and some of Nashville "bombing".

That was a masonry building. Those things withstood ariel bombings of WWII and cannon fire/artillery fire in Civil war and WWI. But some "office fire" flattens it like this? right.

I'm so happy
