LP \u01fckili Ross&#8217; portrait of his wife, Misha, shows her gazing out a train window as a lone traveler. Bodeck Hernandez&#8217; portrait is of his mother, who rode the Blue Line to and from work since the family moved to Long Beach from the Philippines in 2002.<\/p>\n<p>Riders of the A Line will be able to see the art displayed on new digital kiosks installed at station platforms as well as on limited-edition TAP cards. After months of improvements, the A Line is <a href=\"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/longbeachize\/addison-snoop-dogg-metro-blue-a-line\">set to officially reopen Saturday<\/a>.
