We report the detection of a 4-kpc long, highly collimated radio feature emanating from the galactic center. This feature, which may be cylindrical in shape, is some 200 pc in diameter and extends almost perpendicular to the galactic plane. The structure may possibly be the remnant of a one-sided or highly asymmetric jet from the nucleus, or it might be a magnetic tornado produced by a twisted poloidal magnetic field between the disk and halo.
