Wordnik has uses of homey in the 1860s.
Buffy: How was school today? Dawn: The usual. A big square building filled with boredom and despair.
Buffy: Just how I remember it.
'The Killer In Me'
Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Montreal rocks, Shir.
I thought homey was referring to a person, not a place. Huh.
That's a more recent slang usage.

Parlez-vous Francais?
Comme ci, comme ça. I only took the basic level in university. But I want and plan to improve it in the future.
Montreal rocks, Shir.
So I hear!

I feel like we have a buffista or two in Montreal.

Oh, and that homely story reminded me. This morning, in one of my classes, we had presentations. One of the students immigrated here from Russia, and whenever she tried to say "hishtana" (changed, v., singular-masculine/indefinite pronoun form) she said "hashtana" (urinating).
Then it hit me just how bitchy Hebrew can be.

We have one person listed as a Montrealer on the map. Brenda and I used to live there.

As for the Montreal thing: unrealistic and ungrounded as it is at the moment, it was just what I needed to hear.

A (male) friend of mine was viting Mexico with his family. At a restaurant he went to reach across the table and spilled a bottle of wine all over the table, the waiter, and the floor. He stammered, "estoy muy, muy, embarazado"
I'm very, very, pregnant
