                               November 22, 1996


Lamar Advertising Company
5551 Corporate Blvd.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70808

         We are furnishing this opinion in connection with the Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") filed on November 22, 1996 by Lamar
Advertising Company (the "Company") and certain subsidiaries of the Company
listed as Additional Registrants in the Registration Statement (the "Subsidiary
Guarantors") relating to $255,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior
Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") to be issued and sold by the Company and
guaranteed (the "Guarantees") by the Subsidiary Guarantors.  The Notes are to 
be issued pursuant to an Indenture (the "Indenture") between the Company and 
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee (the "Trustee"), the proposed 
form of which was previously filed as an exhibit to the Company's registration 
statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-14789) that was declared effective on 
November 21, 1996.

         We have acted as your counsel in connection with the Registration
Statement and are familiar with the proceedings taken by the Company in
connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the Notes.  We have
made such examination as we consider necessary to render this opinion.

         This opinion is limited to the federal laws of the United States and
the Delaware General Corporation Law.  We note that the Indenture, Notes and
Guarantees and governed by the laws of the State of New York and, therefore, in
rendering this opinion, we have relied, as to the opinions set forth in
paragraphs 1 and 2 below, upon the opinion of Chadbourne & Parke LLP with
respect to matters of New York law.  In addition, as to the opinions set forth
in paragraph 2 below, we have relied upon the opinion of Kean, Miller,
Hawthorne, D'Armand, McCowan & Jarman, L.L.P. with respect to matters relating
to the due incorporation and good standing of the Subsidiary Guarantors, the
corporate power and authority of the Subsidiary Guarantors to execute, deliver 
and perform the Guarantees, and the due execution and delivery by the 
Subsidiary Guarantors of the Guarantees.

             Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

         1.      Upon the due execution and delivery of the Indenture by the
Company and the Trustee and the due execution, authentication and delivery of
the Notes in accordance with the Indenture against payment therefor as
contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Notes will be valid and legally
binding obligations of the Company, subject to bankruptcy,

insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general
applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity
principles.

         2.      When the Notes are duly issued and delivered by the Company
and at the time any subsidiary of the Company becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor,
the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor will be the valid and legally
binding obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general
applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity
principles.

         In rendering the foregoing opinions, we express no opinion as to
federal or state laws relating to fraudulent transfers.

         We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as a part of the
Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption
"Certain Legal Matters" in the Prospectus filed as part thereof.

of the Notes and the Guarantees.  We have made such examination as we consider
necessary to render this opinion.

             Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

         1.      Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors has been duly incorporated
and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation, with corporate power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform its Guarantee.

         2.      The Guarantees have been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, and no consent or approval of
any court or governmental agency or body is required for such execution and
delivery except consents or approvals as may be required under federal
securities laws or under state securities or Blue Sky laws.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

              In connection with the registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act") of $255,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "Securities") of Lamar Advertising
Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the related guarantees
(the "Guarantees") by certain subsidiaries of the Company (the "Subsidiary
Guarantors") listed as additional registrants in the registration statement on
Form S-3 under the Act filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in
connection therewith, as amended to the date hereof (the "Registration
Statement"), we, as counsel to the Underwriters, have examined such corporate
records, certificates and other

the opinions hereinafter expressed.  In such examination, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us
as originals and the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to
us as copies.  Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall
have the respective meaning assigned to them in the Registration Statement.

              Upon the basis of such examination, we advise you that, in our
opinion, when the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act,
the Indenture relating to the Securities and the Guarantees has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto, the terms of the
Securities and the Guarantees and of their issuance and sale have been duly
established in conformity with the Indenture so as not to violate any
applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or
instrument binding upon the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor and so as to

Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Securities and Guarantees have been
duly authorized by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, respectively, and
the Securities, with the Guarantees endorsed thereon, have been duly executed

will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors, respectively, subject to bankruptcy, fraudulent
conveyance, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles.

              In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that each of
the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors has been duly incorporated or
organized and is an existing corporation or partnership, as the case may be, in
good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or
organization, as the case may be, with corporate or partnership power and

to which such entity may be a party, and that the Securities and Guarantees are
valid and legally binding obligations of the Company and each Subsidiary
Guarantor, respectively, under the applicable laws of each such entity's
