Unlike the rest of the galaxy, the stars in the center are very close together and moving very fast, which is due to a very massive object (which most speculate to be a black hole) having a large gravitational attraction on them, and once in a while stars and gas get pulled into the black hole.
So basically it's very busy and violent.

The center of our galaxy is an end stage in the evolution of the universe.
Many scientists believe the galactic center harbors a black hole,but they are wrong.
The driving force at the center of all galaxies is neutron star activity.
It is the final stage of a diminishing spacial density that heralds the demise of the universe.

At the center of our Milky Way is a (right now) dormant, super massive black hole, millions of solar masses. This black hole may have been active in the distant past, as quasars appear to us now (billions of light years away and in the past) but on a smaller scale.

Lots of speculation about that. The odds on best guess is that there is a very massive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

Some scientists believe there's a black hole there.
