With less than a week left to save Tribeca’s “Ghostbusters” firehouse, more than 100 firefighters, residents and local officials rallied on Friday morning in front of the iconic building at North Moore and Varick streets. And echoing the 1984 film’s theme song, local officials knew just who they want residents to call: 311.
