A couple of weeks ago we reported that 40 Acres and a Mule, Spike Lee’s production company, had moved out of its Fort Greene headquarters of the past 22 years. Now, it turns out, the owner has put the three-story former firehouse on the market for a staggering $6,000,000. We realize the place has the fame factor going for it, but you’d have to be pretty star-struck to shell out $1,000 a foot for something that doesn’t even have much interior charm going for it and is across the street from the hospital entrance. The aggressive asking price also kinda makes you wonder wonder whether Spike decided to leave or was forced to.
