Calliope Projects

Officially called the B.W. Cooper apartments, the Calliope Projects is one of the Housing Projects of New Orleans located in Central City New Orleans. There are 1,546 units on 56 acres of land. The project was built between 1939 and 1941. There are 690 apartments in the original development. In 1949, a gymnasium was added at Broad and Calliope Streets. In 1954, a twelve block expansion added 860 new units. The expansion pushed the western boundary of the Calio back two blocks from Erato Street to Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. The Calliope Projects (or simply Calio to the locals) are among the most notorious in Uptown New Orleans and the United States along with the St. Thomas Projects, Magnolia Projects, and Melphomene Projects. The drug trade and subsequent violence from it were two of the primary reasons New Orleans was nicknamed the "Murder Capital of the U.S."

Pot Calling Kettle Black

This is an idiom with Spanish origin that states that the person you are talking to is calling you something that they themselves are equally as guilty of doing... Thus an example of psychological projection.

This comes from old times when pots and pans were generally black and kettles were generally metallic and reflective. Therefore the pot sees its black reflection in the kettle and thinks that the kettle is black.

Caelin

Caelins are amazing beautiful girls. If you know one GET HER NOW!!!!!!!! She is nice and funny and will love you forever. She is an angel in person. She will support you in anything. Don't let her go ever.

The best way to get her:

Walk up to her and ask if you can walk with her. If she says yes talk to her about how beautiful she is and how lucky you are being able to walk next to such an angel. She will most likely like you after that.
Caelin is hot.
