"It's once in 100 years that it comes around for this city," said Delbert Rocha, Postmaster for Lomita.
The date Thursday, 9/07/17, synced perfectly with Lomita's zip code, spurring U.S. postal workers to issue a special cancellation stamp for people who wanted to collect them.

Dozens of people lined up at the Lomita post office for the commemorative postmarks, some purchasing $5.49 cache envelopes for the cancellation stamps.
Friday's date, 9/08/17 syncs with the Long Beach zip code 90817. No word if postal officials there plan to mark the day with any special events.
