Reddy in Akron, Ohio?

A writer from the Akron Beacon Journal wonders:
…does anyone know what happened to the giant light display of Reddy Kilowatt, the cartoon character that decorated the Ohio Edison building for decades in downtown Akron?
This is an unofficial web site dedicated to Reddy Kilowatt, the cartoon character that was used as a corporate "spokesthing" for electricity in the U.S. The site features history, news, memorabilia, items for sale and more. Yee-haw!
Dude, I sadly saw the ones in Springdale, PA dissapear only like five years ago. I used to look up and go… there’s my dad!
I vividly remember the reddy kilowatt sign adorning the ohio edison building and have been searching for a photo of it to no avail. I remember his arm moved and flashed but at the time I was pretty little and haven’t lived in Akron for about 40 years. I’d sure like to find a picture of it.
