ZZ

For some curious reason, there are 48 observations where the CITY is preceded by the text string 'ZZ'. There are cases where CITY was misspelled but only one other case I can recall where extraneous characters were inserted before a city name. The PLDF3 schedule of changes for Nebraska documents three cases where the LIBID was also preceded by 'ZZ'. These cases were only discovered as a result of investigating duplicate entries. It seems unlikely the ZZ's are random but a quick investigation did not turn up any explanation. Here they are, in order by state:
