Grab your address books. In less than a month, the small town of Granville, N.D., will no longer exist.
After winning a promotional contest sponsored by Sazerac Co., the New Orleans distributor of Dr. McGillicuddy’s Imported Schnapps, the town will officially change its name on April 14 to McGillicuddy City.
In exchange for changing all signs and references from Granville to McGillicuddy, the 250-person community will receive $25,000 in each of the next four years to help build a civic center.
