What's Up Judy?

Had the pleasure of filming some of the delightful items, friendly staff 

and customers at Judy Maxwell Home–"An Urban General Store…dedicated to fun." 

They recently relocated to the corner of 1363 N. Wells in Old Town in a

charming emporium. Named after Barbara Streisand's character in the 

movie "What's Up Doc?", Judy Maxwell Home embodies her quirky personality. 

Unique gifts, handmade toys and quilts, vintage jewelry, glittery nail polish, 

irreverent greeting cards furniture, clothing and emergency clown noses 

are just the tip of the iceberg.
