Reina Garcia has a 30-minute commute, not bad by metro Atlanta standards. Except her trip to work isn't by car. It's on foot. "I love to walk. It's great exercise and (I) don't put on any weight," Garcia, 30, said last week as she strolled home from her housekeeping job along Franklin Road in Marietta. In car-crazy metro Atlanta, thousands of Latinos are walking to work, walking to the store, walking to the laundry. In this feverishly sprawling place, where some people take their car to their mailbox, these people travel to the beat of a different drummer."
