Usage Note

Where at ( Where was he at? ) and where to ( Where is this leading to? ) are often criticized as redundant because neither at nor to adds anything to the meaning of where, and sentences like the preceding ones are perfectly clear and standard without the final at or to. This criticism does not apply to where from, which is fully standard: Where does the money come from? The constructions where at and where to occur in the speech of educated people but are rare in formal speech and edited writing.
