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."
Man 1 - Aye, they just had another drug related murder in the Calliope Projects.
Man 2 - Dang, thats the third one this week.

Get the project zorgo mug.An awesome Christian hardcore rock group. It has four members who have stuck by it from the beginning, even though their names have changed now and then.
They have four albums (in chronological order):
Project 86
Drawing Black Lines
Truthless Heroes
Songs to Burn Your Bridges By
The best album is Truthless Heroes, which has an almost cult like following in the undergroud that completely transcends the bands popularity.
And whoever said that the latest album was the hardest needs to check what's in their crack pipe, because as with almost every hardcore band, the first album was the hardest. Drawing Black lines probably ties with Songs for the tamest album, but neither are by any stretch mellow.

P86 Fan: Yeah, he used to have a real name, but they completely disregarded the deep occultic truths of Truthless Heroes and sold out to a vast corrupt media system.
