FORD ESCAPE 2020 INTERIOR AND DASHBOARD

What’s great about hitting the open road with the brand new 2020 Ford Escape? With the slew of features and best-in-class mileage, drivers are able to escape to wherever the wind takes them, if you get my drift.

To celebrate the launch of the new compact SUV, we’ve asked a few of Detroit’s entreprenuers, creatives and business owners to share their favorite escapes in their daily life —as well as their favorite escapes from Detroit (but don’t worry, they always come back).

What keeps you in Detroit? Our independent creative community. I’ve been living in Detroit for nearly 25 years, and there has always existed a close-knit community of dreamers and doers. We have vision and imagination in order to create opportunities that are not readily available, and we have the drive and support, from each other, to make them happen. I hope that never changes.

Favorite Detroit escape? I’ve taken some rowing classes at the Belle Isle Boat Club. Gliding along the Detroit River reveals an unexpected view of the city—it reminds me how much I love Detroit’s proximity to the water and its not so obvious beauty

Favorite escape from Detroit? Paris is my idea of a cultural mecca. It’s a city that respects its history and holds art and culture in the highest esteem.
