CLEVELAND, Ohio - The sign is easy to miss. You could drive right past it on your way down Imperial Avenue.
A storm tore it from two, tall wooden poles months ago. Now it leans against a fence, eye level with chipmunks and squirrels.
Nearly nine years after the bodies of 11 women were found buried in the yard and entombed inside serial killer Anthony Sowell's house at 12205 Imperial Avenue, its message feels like a taunt.
"Gone But Not Forgotten."
Despite promises to build a memorial to the murdered sisters and mothers and daughters, despite a working blue print and donations made, the lot is vacant, over run with dandelion and wild clover.
One look at that deserted plot of ground and it seems we can't forget them fast enough.
If you'd never heard about the Sowell house or the persistent odor people in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood thought was coming from the sausage shop or the sewer, you wouldn't know anything had happened here.
"It's horrible" says Sylvia Minor, who lives a few blocks away.
