I recently drove between Florida and Houston on I-10 as well up 49 from Lafayette through Alexandria to Shreveport and I felt Gordon McKenna had far more billboards than Morris Bart.

I counted 29 Morris Bart billboards, first one I saw around Spanish Fort in Alabama and the last one in Shreveport. But Gordon dominated I-49.

Or is Morris Bart's ad agency simply being smarter in terms of their distribution of advertising mediums while Gordon is all in on outdoor advertising?

Morris is the OG billboard ambulance chaser and should receive credit for changing the game the way he did but he has been far surpassed by Gordon and Alexander Shunnarah

His picture is about 30 years old. Realtors and attorneys should be required to advertise with a new picture every 5 years.

Morris is playing the long game and waiting on the Yellow Pages to make a comeback so he can corner the market of the refrigerator magnets with the LSU and Saints schedule on them.

Morris Bart has looked the same since I was 10 years old according to his billboards.

I can’t remember the last time I saw a Morris Bart commercial on tv in Baton Rouge. Maybe he’s satisfied with where he is at this point in his life?

Morris Bart looked old when I was a teenager back in 1984

He's only 70. I would've guessed older by now.

Anyway my wife once saw him on a plane yelling at an elderly couple for occupying his seat by accident, and he threatened them with an aggressive amount of "youknowwhoisam?" That's my only true knowledge about him.

Morris Bart is like Derek Zoolander and Gordon is just Hansel.

MB started the billboard game.

He hasn't done Lawyer work in years. The attorneys that work at the firm are making a huge living off his name.

This is truth. When I was first being introduced to everyone in my realtor office, there was nobody who looked even remotely like their picture. It was crazy how different these people looked from their picture on the website or business cards.
