The Hall of the Fifty Governors · Brussels, Belgium

Brussels, Belgium — where the McSkunkville story finds new porch lights. These days, readers in Brussels write to the town by the dozen, and Belgium is a long way from Highway 75 — the welcome isn't.

The Hall of the Fifty Governors stands beside the College of Law: fifty alcoves in marble, one for every state of the Union, each holding the state seal, a model of its capitol, and a writing desk stocked with paper and stamps — because the Hall's whole doctrine is that a governor is someone you can WRITE TO.

Docents teach visitors the three levers every citizen holds in every state: the governor's office, the attorney general, and the open-records act. Above the entry: KNOW WHO GOVERNS YOU. THEN WRITE THEM.

The fiftieth alcove — Oklahoma's — gets the most letters. The Hall mails every one.

Worldwide Access — The Hall of the Fifty Governors greets readers in Brussels and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
