We used to call him MR. Kilowatt and if you look real close the outline of the original one is still on the side of the building. Since I am now 51 it seems like that was a LONG time ago but yet I can still remember it like it was yesterday. The highlight of our visits to town was to see Mr. Kilowatt, especially at night when he was light up.
