This review concerns itself with Loop I (the North Polar Spur), an angularly immense feature of the high latitude galactic continuum radio emission. Observations of relevance are presented ranging in wavelength from the radio region to γ-rays. The many theories for the origin of the feature are considered. Special attention is paid to the hypothesis that the object is a superova remnant, at its closest less than 100 pc from the sun. The possibility that Loop I may have a major influence on our local interstellar medium is mentioned.
