Molecular clouds in the central 200 pc of the Galaxy (the Central Molecular Zone ) exhibit different (and more extreme) physical properties than those in the disk, yet because this is the closest galactic nucleus, detailed studies of this region can provide insight on galactic nuclei in general in the nearby universe. ... In this talk I will present a case study of one of the clouds - a dense and unusual cloud, GCM0.253+0.016 - also known as The Brick . ...
