Projects like this are why some people are against those 'official franchise' sets. You don't need LEGO to make a 'Ghosbusters' set... you just need the right bricks o make it yourself.

February 20 2013 at 9:15 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyHughes needed to better explain that sentence, though. A film set can be on location or not, but most people interpret "set" as in a studio (as you did).
The exterior firehouse is Hook and Ladder No. 8 in NY (still a working fire station, last Halloween they stuck up the GBII sign again). The interior scenes of the firehouse was not a studio, but Fire Station No. 23 in LA (this one no longer operates, and was used as the garage in the Mask and has been in other movies). Only the basement, where the containment unit is, was a set.
Some more knowledge: The interior library scenes on the main floor are indeed the NY Public Library, while the basement stacks are the LA Central Library. The hotel where the guys bust Slimer ("Sedgewick Hotel") is entirely the Biltmore Hotel in LA.
You're right...I simply misread it. And I even went back to check!

"The outside of the Ghostbusters HQ was an actual firehouse in New York City, but the film set was in L.A"
Not sure how that can mean anything than what it clearly means
Jeff Alme above misunderstood it to mean that that the LA set was a "studio set." When most people hear "set," they think of studios even though the words aren't synonymous.
