Notable for its fancy underpass entrance, in its early years the Heart was owned by the Winoko Corp. and managed by R.S. Wiles Jr. and Brooks Noah. It was the first drive-in within Kansas City limits, and its 50x70' porcelain-enamel-on-steel screen was the largest of its type manufactured to date. Photos
