Woodbine was an Ontario provincial electoral district that existed from 1926 to 1967. It covered a section of the eastern city of Toronto east of Jones Avenue and west of Woodbine Avenue. In 1966 there was a major redrawing of the riding boundaries in Toronto and the riding was split. The portion east of Greenwood Avenue was merged into the Beaches—Woodbine and the portion west went into the Riverdale riding.
Woodbine is a station on the Bloor–Danforth line in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The station is at the southwest corner of Woodbine Avenue and Strathmore Boulevard, just north of Danforth Avenue.
The entrance, collector, and bus platform are at street level, the concourse is on the second level, and the subway platforms are on the lower level.
In terms of accessibility, while there are escalators leading from platform level, there is at least one small sub-flight of stairs between it and a second escalator in order to reach the surface. There are no elevators between the track level and the surface, so it is therefore not a wheelchair-accessible station. However, new elevators from street level to concourse and platforms are part of ongoing renovations scheduled for completion in 2017.
Woodbine is a brand of cigarette made in England by W. D. & H. O. Wills (now Imperial Tobacco) since 1888.
Noted for its strong unfiltered cigarettes, the brand was popular in the early 20th century, especially with army men during the First and Second World War. In the Great War, the British Army chaplain Geoffrey Studdert Kennedy MC was affectionately nicknamed "Woodbine Willie" by troops on the Western Front to whom he handed out cigarettes along with bibles and spiritual comfort.
In common parlance, the unfiltered high-tar Woodbine was one of the brands collectively known as "gaspers" until about 1950, because new smokers found their strong smoke difficult to inhale. A filtered version was launched in the United Kingdom in 1948, but was discontinued in 1988.
Woodbine, also known as the Anders Rasmussen House, is a historic early-20th-century estate estate located at New Albany, Floyd County, Indiana. It was built in 1920 for Anders Rasmussen, who owned a florist business in New Albany and once served as a florist for the King of Denmark. The -story Bungalow / American Craftsman-style house is made of stucco, brick, limestone, asphalt, and terra cotta, with a full basement. The house includes a -story caretaker's apartment. The house stayed with the family until 1945, and has gone through several hands since then. The estate is currently owed and being restored by the owner/winemaker for Downtown New Albany's River City Winery located just two miles away. Plans for a vineyard on the estate are underway.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
