So my next expectation would have been that it would have jumped the Met north and moved over to Hoch-Mais before attempting a Napoleonic expedition to conquer the vast hinterlands east of Pie IX.
It looks like there was some of that, but moreso that the "scene" moved towards Saint-Henri and Verdun.

Hochelaga is also well into gentrification and St-Henri is a done deal, so much so that it creates social tension in both neighborhood.
