From a distance, I first spotted what looked like a Venus Fly Trap. I didn't have my eye glasses on, so I mumbled to myself, "that had better be North Carolina" -- after all Venus Fly Traps are native to (and almost totally found in) the Old North State.
It was.
(U-Haul's other N.C. mural is a Wright Brothers-themed one, which you can view here.)
Thinking about the Venus Fly Trap got me thinking about other things, people, places that are unique to North Carolina or are mostly found here.
Some suggestions?
-Calabash seafood
-Lexington barbecue
-Eastern-style barbecue
I'm sure there are more suggestions, but it's Friday, and I can think of no more. Any others?

I forgot another one: The white squirrels of Brevard!
Shagging!! (As in the beach music dance of course.) Well, it's unique to NC and SC I guess. I never realized just how so this was until we visited a beach music bar on Tybee Island (near Savannah, GA) frequented by locals and no one there was doing anything close to shagging on the dance floor...to BEACH MUSIC no less!
Yes! Chicken Hicks (from Carolina Beach, NC) is credited with creating the shag.
