Wendell Jernberg, of Naperville, pours a customer a rum and coke Thursday at PK’s in Carbondale. Jernberg has been working at the bar for four years. “I came to Carbondale to go to school,” Jernberg said, “but I never left. … The best part of this job is the people that you get to see every day. We are like one, big, dysfunctional family.” The bar celebrated 60 years in the Carbondale community in August. — May 5, 2016, Carbondale, Ill.
