By the way, I don't think I-80 is the correct dividing line on this

Absolutely.

Kommst du mit has an understood (mir/uns) at the end, as does "you wanna
come with (me/us)?

The other Germanic Chicagoese is by: Not "I'm going to Debbie's house" but
"I'm going by Debbie." Always seemed obvious to me it was a derivative of
bei, which doesn't mean by.

It probably has roots in Deutsch: "Kommst du mit"
& "Kommen Sie mit." (My spelling and grammar is
rusty.) In either German or English it is quite
easy to grasp the meaning. I like short and sweet
but tend to ramble on myself!! LOL
