Why Borders are Important....

In the last week two crimes have been associated w Kensington that were clearly outside our borders. The first from the NY Times about a guy on East 21st who killed his wife then himself. The Times later corrected themselves and relocated East 21st to Flatbush. The second story (from Sunday morning) at 1010Wins.com notes a women living in Kensington since her address was Dorchester Road. Dorchester Road is to the west of Coney Island Ave. and is not Kensington but Flatbush or more correctly Ditmas Park. Differentiation of borders are important in cases like this because it associates crime to the area which consequently brings bad press.
