I realised words like "home" and "uptown/downtown" are different like you say "I go downtown." instead of "I go to downtown.". Can you explain and provide other similar words?

Interestingly midtown still needs "to".

    Does this answer your question? [What does make “home”, “school” and “work” exceptional gramatically?](https://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/326221/what-does-make-home-school-and-work-exceptional-gramatically) – Astralbee Nov 11 '22 at 09:36
  • @Astralbee thanks, it does not. If it does please explain here. – Handsome Nerd Nov 12 '22 at 09:44
  • This can be confusing because uptown and downtown can mean not only destinations (I will be uptown tomorrow), but also directions (I am headed downtown after work). – Davo Nov 16 '22 at 14:40
  • I got some good info from a related question here. https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/33652/why-is-to-not-used-before-home It's unfortunate that two people have marked the question as unclear when it's simple and straightforward like the linked question. – Handsome Nerd Nov 18 '22 at 00:33
