Do appearances matter?
Depends on what appears.
When it’s a giant garage door, YES!
It means you can wheel the rower outside and paddle in the Portland rain. It means you can launch a dozen students into the parking lot at once to do four count street on the pavement. It means carrying Olympic sized bars out with zero concern for hitting the walls. It means hours of horse stance with a cool breeze on your sweat soaked shirt.
And yes, it means a way cooler looking facade.
