Abstract As discussed by Sofue and Handa (1984), two large radio continuum arcs cross the Galactic equator in the vicinity of the Galactic center. One arc, at longitude + 0.2 deg, brightens considerably over a 50 pc region nearest Sgr A, to which it is apparently connected by a remarkable set of curved filaments as reported by Yusef-Zadeh et al. (1984), the internal arc structure near Sgr A exhibits a unique series of parallel streamers. Here it is shown that Sgr C, located near the base of the second arc at l of about 359.45 deg, strongly resembles Sgr A and is connected to a filament which forms the brightest part of that arc. While there is no evidence that the Milky Way has a double nucleus, similarity between the Sgr A and C complexes suggests that some of the same striking phenomena can be studied at two locations near the Galactic center.
