Get the projects mug.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 Prospect Park mug.prospect is a small town that is one of the most boringest towns in ct. they kids either play football or soccer. there isnt enough black people to play basketball and any of the white kids that try, arent any good at it. parties are usually the worst around, except the occasional banger. the only real hangout is the town park. and the mobile gas station. for some reason there are alway people there? choice of first car is anything kids can afford. the richer kids in the national honor society have their parents buy them what ever they want. the local town gang think they are the hardest kids in the world. they think it is cool to smoke shitty weed. they dont know how dumb they look. pizza resteraunts owned by albanians pretty much rule the town. there is a subway and dunkin donuts. prospect has had the same mayor for 12324 years. theres only about 5 cops but they are always bussy chasing the cool kids smoking weed at the park. other than that prospect is quiet with nothing to do, you might find a deer or two wandering across your front yard once and while. but most shoot them. most kids think theyre are cool because prospect is next to waterbury, but waterbury kids are too uneducated to know where or what prospect is, and or how to spell prospect. if you are planning to live a boring life, move to prospect.
