Cranston -- Accents for Life, 250 North Water Street, will open in the Historic Third Ward this fall on the first floor of the Marshall Building.

The 6,000-square-foot store will sell home furnishings, decorations, accessories and more, filling a void in a downtown market that lacks a Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel or Restoration Hardware.

In other Third Ward news, rumors have both Blockbuster and Office Depot looking for locations in or around the neighborhood.
