Before Summorum Pontificum, there were only three Churches offering the Tridentine Latin Mass through the Indult and the other one was administered by the SSPX.
Now, I am not sure if there are other parishes who started offering the Extraordinary rite. Is is possible that the dioceses here are forming their own interpretation of the Pope's motu proprio?
Any Latin Masses in Your Parish?

A few weeks ago, Archbishop Malcolm Ranjith, Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship, said that he saw a certain obstinance (my word, not his) in response to Pope Benedict's "motu proprio," relaxing restrictions on the Latin Mass, called "Summorum Pontificum."
Here's what Archbishop Ranjith said in an interview:
"You know that there have been, by some dioceses, even interpretative documents which inexplainably intend to limit the Pope's motu proprio. These actions mask behind them, on one hand, prejudices of an ideological kind and, on the other, pride, one of the gravest sins. I repeat: I invite all to obey the Pope." (Catholic News Agency)
Which makes me wonder: Five months after "Summorum Pontificum" was promulgated, how many American parishes have chosen to introduce a Latin Mass? What is your experience?
