		We always have called it Boerum Hill and that seems to be the accepted wisdom, but I have seen it referred to as Park Slope...
		I agree that it is important to note that Boerum Hill will always have these substantial public housing "anchors" to its neighborhood, but at the same time I don't believe the shooting incident near them is typical at all of Boerum Hill or, indeed, Brooklyn.
		As for what is the boundary of Boerum Hill, it is a tough call (as is often the case in NY neighborhoods) but generally I have always thought the bonudary between Boerum Hill and Park Slope was 4th Avenue.

		Lethem were a tour guide, his main theme would be that what many people think of as a sharp division between the cracked sidewalks of his childhood and the much glossier Boerum Hill of today is really a blur.
		Walking his old streets, a boyish figure with jeans and cropped dark hair, he would explain how much of what seems to have disappeared can still be seen like drawings under tracing paper, and how nothing about the neighborhood's trajectory is as simple or linear as it appears.
		It's hard to imagine today's Boerum Hill children needing that foothold, especially on Dean Street on a glorious autumn day, when the sun falls through the leaves and slants gently across the stoops, as safe as a painting.
