Residents want a better Edmondson Village Shopping Center, but will dated covenants stand in the way?

Cynthia Hopkins thinks it’s about time the Edmondson Village Shopping Center got a makeover. The center needs fewer hair supply stores, she said, and more sit-down restaurants like the ones she and her children used to dine when they first moved into the nearby Rognel Heights community in 1970. “We need the change. … Change is hard, but it’s all in the name of progress,” Hopkins said.
