Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We are rendering this opinion in connection with the Registration
Statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") filed by Lamar Media Corp.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and certain subsidiaries of the Company
listed as Additional Registrants in the Registration Statement (the "Subsidiary
Guarantors") with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), on or about the date hereof
relating to the offer to exchange up to $260,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of the Company's 7-1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013, which have been
registered under the Securities Act (the "Exchange Notes"), for up to
$260,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's outstanding 7-1/4%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013, which have not been so registered (the
"Original Notes"). The Original Notes have been, and the Exchange Notes will be,
issued by the Company and guaranteed (the "Guarantees") by the Subsidiary
Guarantors under an indenture dated as of December 23, 2002 (the "Indenture")
between the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Wachovia Bank of Delaware,
National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Exchange Notes are to be
offered and exchanged in the manner described in the Registration Statement (the
"Exchange Offer").

         We have acted as your counsel in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement and are familiar with the proceedings of the Board of
Directors of the Company in connection with the authorization, issuance and
exchange of the Exchange Notes. We have made such other examination as we
consider necessary to render this opinion. We have relied as to certain matters
on information obtained from public officials, officers of the Company and other
sources believed by us to be responsible.

         The Indenture and Exchange Notes are governed by the laws of the State
of New York and, therefore, in rendering our opinion as to the validity and
binding effect of the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees, we have relied upon the
opinion of Cahill Gordon & Reindell with respect to matters of New York law. In
addition, we have relied upon the opinion of Kean, Miller, Hawthorne, D'Armond,
McCowan & Jarman L.L.P. with respect to certain matters relating to the due
incorporation and valid existence 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 Guarantors of the
Guarantees. Except to the extent of such reliance, the opinion rendered herein
is limited to Delaware General Corporation Law (including the applicable

provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions
interpreting these laws) and the federal laws of the United States.

         Our opinions set forth below are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and remedies
and to general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law).

         Based on the foregoing we are of the opinion that:

         1. The Exchange Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action of the Company, and when the Registration Statement has become
effective under the Securities Act and the Exchange Notes have been duly
executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the Indenture against
receipt of the Original Notes surrendered in the exchange therefor in accordance
with the terms of the Exchange Offer, the Exchange Notes will constitute valid
and binding obligations of the Company.

         2. The Guarantees, when the Exchange Notes are issued, authenticated
and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Exchange
Offer, will be binding obligations of the Guarantors, enforceable against each
of them in accordance with their respective terms.

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

Very truly yours,

/s/ Palmer & Dodge LLP
