This episode we're revisiting a classic Extraplasm episode from 2022 and introducing some new details and updates to an ongoing story! Back in 2022, Episode 10: Ghost Stories of a Haunted Firehouse covered the history of Fire Station 23 in Los Angeles - better known to many of us as the interior of the Ghostbusters Headquarters in the first two movies.  Nearly two years later, Jim's revisiting the episode for a remastered experience with improved audio, better editing, and -- most importantly -- an update on the effort of LA Department of Cultural Affairs and the Bureau of Engineering to convert the firehouse into a youth arts center.  And of course, the episode opens as usual with new Ghostbusters headlines.  Whether you're a newcomer to Extraplasm or a long term listener, there's something new for you in this week's episode!
