....Nice Pilot TS with drivers lounge. at. Alexandria ,Mn.
I stopped there one night when it first opened with some former colleagues that do a Minneapolis-Fargo turn. They usually stop at the Truckers Inn in Sauk Centre on the way up.

Originally it was built as a Pipline Truck Stop. The main area was a large, cavernous industrial type space. High ceilings, corrugated steel sheets on the walls and fixture fronts and metal table tops. The whole atmosphere was cold, industrial and uninviting. The worst part was the noise. A constant din that reverberated throughout the space making conversation difficult. Even the restrooms were aurally intrusive. Clean, but hard on the ears.

I never checked out the driver's lounge and haven't been back since Pilot bought it. Is it still like I described?

There is also a biomass electricity generating plant that burns turkey turds, beaks, feet and other stuff and an ethanol plant. I have delivered to both during the construction phases.
