Ed Branley, a former high school history teacher and self-described history fanatic, will discuss the Royal Blue Line, on Tuesday, August 19, 7 pm, at the East Bank Regional Library (4747 West Napoleon Avenue in Metairie). The Royal Blue Line was a streetcar that traveled up and down part of Metairie Road in Old Metairie from 1915 to 1934. Its name comes from the destination signs that were made of bright royal blue glass with white letters. The line was an extension of the Napoleon Avenue streetcar line, which had been in operation since 1903.
