The founder and original owner of Coleman's Drive-In was Marvin Good. Which doesn't exactly explain the phrase, but does shed some light on it.
 

Coleman's was the textbook definition of a "greasy spoon" diner-- with burgers that literally dripped cholesterol and fresh pie on the counter for dessert.
 

It was great that you were able to snap Coleman's before the sign was gone. Too many times I have thought about stopping somewhere here in OKC & then....It's gone. Forever.
 

My wonderful grandpa used to take us to Coleman's pretty often back in the 60's! Last time I traveled through Okmulgee on my way to visit my mom, I saw it was being bulldozed...I cried like a baby!
 

Colemans was founded by Marvin Coleman. His sister married Jerry Good, and her descendants operated the place at the end, thus the Goods reference. They have since relocated to a smaller location downtown.
 

I grew up in Oklmulgee and was born there in the Old City Hospital in 1959. My sister was born in 1957, brother 1960and lil' sis 1963. I grew up with Buttons Coleman his daughter and all their other children and they lived across from Municipal Swimming Pool and we all spent our summer days there in the 60's and 70's. Buttons got her fingers caught in a fan when she was a little girl and had a few missing. Her dad's name was Marvin Coleman not Goods. I don't know where Good's came from he may have been related to that family but I know his last name was Coleman. We went there numerous Sundays after church for lunch thruout my childhood. My parents moved from there in 1975 becuz American Saint Gobaine closed down, which my father had worked for many years. We moved as well as a lot of other families did. We to Edmond others Tulsa, and some relocated to Kingsport, Tennessee where the other plant was. My dad opted not to do that.He owned Temp Safe Inc. a tempered safety glass plant in Edmond until relocating to Tulsa to work for Ford Glass and he and my brother both retired there. My brother at 45, and now works for the company that bought Ford Glass. yadayadayada, I know I went off subject I just got on a role and nostalgic there, lol, Anyway, I love these sites about what was?? etc..etc.. Like the old saying, "Here today, Gone tomorrow"
 

I remember Coleman's well, we went there every Sunday nearly..after church..while growing up..
 

Nothing like a big fat greasy Coleman's burger...nothing like it..kimda like the old hamburger's at any burger joint back in the day..buy you couldn't beat them..not at all
