The man is known as the CandyMan not because he gives out any candy, but because his friendship with Stacy Roszak started over a candy bar.
-- A few hundred Portage Park neighbors are rallying behind a man they call the CandyMan, who is experiencing homelessness with their neighborhood, after the city's Department of Transportation removed the local bus stop he was using as a shelter.
Roszak said for years, about 400 neighbors organized on Facebook to make sure the CandyMan was taken care of. They don't know his real name. "Why would you take the only thing that keeps him from the rain or the snow?" Roszak said."That's the only thing he had."
