Austin, Texas \u0013 December 21, 2007 If you have not seen the windows of
\nthe Scarbrough building decked for the holiday season yet, you will

\nEach window tells its own story and acquaints onlookers with the
\naspiring artists behind the creative works. After seeing the display,

\nPeople with Disabilities, commented \u001c&it is fantastic&what a
