The current observational status of Sgr A*, the compact nonthermal radio source at the galactic center, is reviewed. It is a unique radio source at a unique position of the Galaxy. It is unlike any compact radio sources associated with known stellar objects, but it is similar to extragalactic nuclear compact radio sources. The positional offset between Sgr A* and IRS16 places little constraint on the nature of the underlying energy source, since the nature of IRS16 itself is not well understood and may not be the core of the central star cluster. With its unique properties in the Galaxy and being the only unsual object at the center with dimensions approaching the gravitational radius of a ~106 Msolar black-hole, Sgr A* is still the best candidate for marking the location of a massive collapsed object.
