Come shop with us! The Blade is looking for a variety of readers - teens, women, men - to go with a reporter on a local shopping trip on a weekday to give us your views of a number of stores in terms of appearance, merchandise, and consumer appeal.

The activity should take one to two hours, in the afternoon or evening. If you are interested, please send your name, age, city, and a daytime phone number and a brief description of your reason for wanting to do this.

Please send it by e-mail to business@theblade.com (put "Shopping trip" in the subject heading) or by a mail to Business News Desk, Shopping Trip, The Blade, P.O. Box 921, Toledo, OH 43697-0921.

We will contact you if you have been selected.
