Bob's “World Famous” Java Jive, the concrete teapot that has graced South Tacoma Way for more than 75 years, is being invaded right now by a multi-department assessment by the City of Tacoma.  Tacoma Power, Tacoma Fire Department and city code enforcement inspectors will be combing it for violations over the next hour before releasing a statement according to Deputy Fire Marshall Phil Ferell. 

After surviving a fire, demolition threats, many Girl Trouble live shows, countless pounders of PBR, and official historical status through the City of Tacoma, could this be the end of our world famous eclectic tavern? â€" Ken Swarner
