"The eastern shore has a construction that substitutes "at" for "to."

I heard it on TAGS on at least one occasion.  When everyone in the Barber
Shop was razzin Barney about locking up the whole town, an older gent (I
think it was Chester Jones - the two bit cheatin liar) popped in his head
and said, "Hurry Barney, a hit and run."  Barney asked where and he said,
"Out to the baseball field."

Ever notice how many fun lovin, ornery, older gents lived in Mayberry.  I
think they played more pranks than any of the teenagers in town.
