hochelaga-maisonneuve
A neighbourhood on the east side of Montreal, accessible from downtown via the Green line. Traditionally a rough, working-class area, now experiencing gentrification. Home to the Olympic Stadium, which has been neglected since the aforementioned Olympics and is consequently on the verge of collapse.
Fake-ass condo developers are trying to rebrand the area as HoMa, but true locals just call it 'Shlag.
