"They call me Smiley, Black, or Marco" "You caught me during my downtime. I like to sit out here when I get a minute to relax when I'm not watching my kids. People know me and have different nicknames for me. Depending on who they are, when they see me out here they they call me Smiley, Black, or Marco. I tell the people I work for to call me Marco. I moved to South Bend from Chicago years ago. It's calm here. There are jobs here. In Chicago, you know, there aren't a lot of options. If I was still there I would be around people I shouldn't be. When I moved here I thought I wouldn't know anybody but I found that I had a family here. My girl's family took me in, which is great, but now I have family responsibilities! [laughs] But really, I started to raise my step daughter when she was really young and now she's at Notre Dame and my son's in college too."
