What's so confusing about a zig-zag garage? No knock on your post dkealoha (everyone is entitled to an opinion), but this box/square shape thing is becoming so Portland that it's time we think "outside" of it. Just like the boxy slab buildings EVERYWHERE. It's 2008, let's get on with this century!
I think most people would be able to find their way through what amounts to 2 right angles without too much difficulty. Actually, it's already going to be zig-zagged. Taking it one block west wouldn't change the shape it's already destined to be.
I just think it's time P-town wakes up and smells the coffee that's ubiquitous here. Let's be weird like the bumperstickers that seemingly aren't quite on target. We don't have to shake things up with everything, but once in a blue moon might be nice.
