Astronomers have found evidence that there is a large black hole at the center of our galaxy. Some theories make it possible that there are smaller black holes here or there, but I'm not aware that any have been detected.

No it is not. In fact, the galactic center is the rotational center of the Milky Way Galaxy.It is located in the direction of the constellations, Sagittarius Ophiuchus and Scorpius where the Milky Way appears brightest. It is believed that there is a super massive black hole at the Galactic Center of the the Milk Way.

No. The North Star, Polaris, is a rather average star; except for the remarkable (and temporary!) coincidence of its alignment with the Earth's axis of rotation, we would hardly notice it.

The center of the galaxy is not visible from Earth; vast clouds of dust and gas obscure our view of the center of the Milky Way. We probably wouldn't be able to see anything there anyway, since scientists now believe that a supermassive black hole lies at the center of our galaxy, and perhaps at the centers of many galaxies.

As far as we can tell, there is a supermassive black hole at the centre of all, if not most, galaxies.

This includes the Milky Way.
