I think that Gowanus is, at this point, an ill-defined area somewhere between Boerum Hill and Park Slope. These days, real estate brokers tend to claim that Park Slope runs from 4th Avenue on the west to PPW on the east. The western boundary of PS has moved from 7th, to 6th, to 5th, to 4th in recent years.
For what it’s worth, Wikipedia defines the boundaries as Butler Street to the north, Hamilton Avenue to the South, Smith or Bond to the west, and Third Avenue to the east.

Um….. rough like how? Like handling people roughly? Or just gross / inappropriate? I’m guilty of both, I’m just curious as to what you meant.
Well….I know you are a nice guy, a family man who used to ice scate on frozen rivers in the woods and that you have a sweet and lyrical and poetic side, but sometimes you write stuff that generates a whoa response, like yesterday what a person would do for a million dollars. I start wondering, are you trying to shock people to be funny or…what?
Cobble Hill runs from the south side of Atlantic to the north side of DeGraw, and from the east side of Hicks to the west side of Smith.
Boerum Hill begins on the east side of Smith, though I’m not sure what it’s eastern boundary is, though Cobble’s suggestion of 4th Avenue sounds right. To the north, Boerum Hill begins on State Street (which never made any sense to me) and, IMHO (SHUT UP, PETE!!), ends on the north side of DeGraw.
Carroll Gardens starts on the south side of DeGraw and continues to the north side of Hamilton Avenue. And it runs from the east side of Hicks Street to, IMHO, the west side of the Gowanus Canal.

I think incoherency is an asset these days. But to the hard of hearing, everyone sounds incoherent anyway 🙂 (oops- dammit. Another smiley face.)

And how about Gowanus? I think it starts on east side of 4th Av.
Ah, thanks. I’ll change the tags to read “Boerum Hill.”
Off to lunch. Later folks!
Snappy, I mostly agree with BoCoCahiller.

Boerum Hill is best for that block, Snappy.
(Lech was referring to my 1st 12:14 post – not the snarky one to Dona.)
Thanks Cobble!
