Barack Obama campaign officials announced his visit to the Port City in a conference call Friday morning.

The Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) occurs naturally only within a 100 mile radius of Wilmington, North Carolina. Which is wonderful boasting rights for our state, but that limited range of distribution has put the little meat eater in danger.
