"A man who lives in downtown Wilmington is challenging city leaders on what many would consider to be a trivial issue -- a dispute over his front door. 

It could be called the most expensive door in Wilmington, but not because of how much McCutchan Jones spent on the door. Rather, it's because he's getting fined $200 a day over it.
