Firehouse From ‘Ghostbusters’ Shutting Down

The New York City firehouse featured in the 1984 movie 'Ghostbusters' may soon be shut down due to budget cuts, according to the NY Post.

Ladder No. 8 in TriBeCa is among 20 New York fire stations Mayor Mike Bloomberg has put on the chopping block.

In 'Ghostbusters,' Ladder No. 8 played the role of the retired firehouse where Peter Venkman, Ray Stanz and Egon Spengler set up their iconic paranormal investigating business.

While the real-life retiring of Ladder No. 8 might not be such a good thing for TriBeCa residents, it's impending availability provides an amazing opportunity for any up-and-coming paranormal investigators.

Yes, you could own the same headquarters as the Ghostbusters! I kind of hope that some eccentric millionaire buys the property and completely goes all in to make it look like it did in the movie.  Oh, how I would love to see Ecto-1 pulling out of that giant garage door again.
