  <short_description>Lowell, Massachusetts is a city that once thrived on textile mills in massive red brick factories.  The mills have long since closed.  Now, half the town&#8217;s residents are from South Asia, Latin America and Africa, many of them refugees.  And their teenage children face the same problems many inner city teens face: poverty, gang violence and a high dropout rate.  But a project in Lowell takes teenagers off the streets and plops them onto farmland.  The goal is growth &#8211; both agricultural and personal.  Chris Burrell takes a closer look.</short_description>
