Reid, who is a firefighter for Anderson Township Fire Department in Cincinnati, recently started a hobby making plaques and signs on a CNC router he purchased. The new sign is made from PVC plastic and is hung so it can be seen by customers coming either way on Central Avenue. Twig members are extremely grateful to Reid for his contribution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Thrift Shop is owned by Twig Groups I and II.
