Across the USA - where are all the traditional places?
Hi to all 
I am looking for the help of traditional Catholics, so that is why I am posting this here. If you are a traditional Catholic, I need your advice
I am getting ready to head out on an adventure around the United States. For a long time now, I have wanted to see and experience what life as a traditional Catholic is like in other places. Given that my "place" is mostly edited my moderator in a sense it is me also finding out what it is really like to BE a traditional Catholic - full time! Maybe I will even find my own little corner of the world where I can finally "belong."
But that aside, I am trying to put together the perfect itinerary. And I want to go everywhere! Wherever there is real traditional Catholicism flourishing, (as long as it is in communion with Rome [please no debates about what is in communion and what is not - you know what I mean]) I want to go. I want to see it, live it, experience it and try it. This is where I need your help.
I need traditional Catholics to tell me where all the great traditional Churches, monasteries, convents, shrines, etc. in the USA are...so that I can find them.
I already am planning to visit all of the churches of the FSSP (The Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter) and of the Institute of Christ the King, Sovereign Priest. So that covers a lot of churches right there. So you do not have to mention those.
But what I am looking for beyond that are other parishes, convents, monasteries, shrines, etc. that have a true traditional environment.
So for example, if a parish only has a Latin Mass once a week and the rest of the time it is edited by moderator then I would rather pass. But if you know of a Parish that is truly traditional, all of the time, and it is not the FSSP or Christ the King Sovereign Priest (as I am already going to visit those), then let me know.
Same for monasteries, convents, srhines, etc. Especially monasteries and convents - I want to visit all the fully tradtional ones I can.
But again, they must be as free of any Novus Ordo influence as possible.I am looking for places that are living the fully traditional Catholic life. Take me back in time to pre-Vatican II the best you can.... 
And finally, they must be in communion with Rome. This is a big must. So if it is run by the SSPX or any other organization that is not in communion with Rome, I will skip it. (Again, please avoid any debates about what is in communion with Rome and what is not, who is and who is not - lets keep it simple please 
So, any suggestions?
I look forward to any ideas. Thanks and sorry if this is not the best place to post it - but I need traditional Catholics to share their advice so I need your ideas
Thank you!
P.S. My starting point is the southeastern part of the USA, and heading north. So eastern seaboard and midwest are top on my list now, but I will take western USA suggestions too, as I do want to go there as well eventually! Thanks again!

Re: Across the USA - where are all the traditional places?
A good place is Washington DC. I just returned and went to Mass at Old St. Mary's. Before and during Mass, the NO Altar is removed. I heard a Rosary being said in Latin before Mass. It's in the Chinatown area of DC.

Re: Across the USA - where are all the traditional places?
Your starting point in the southeast is great.
For sure, visit the the Cathedral Basilica Of The Immaculate Conception in Mobile.
Also make certain to visit St Bernard in Cullman Alabama.
EWTN is close by there as well, and if you go a little further North to Chattanooga, you can find the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul.
Of course, they peform the Novus Ordo Mass, so you are out of luck if you are looking to leave it out. But they also perform the Traditional Latin Mass.

Re: Across the USA - where are all the traditional places?
A good start would be dropping derogatory terms for the Ordinary Form Mass, like "Novus Ordo-land". This against forum rules.

Re: Across the USA - where are all the traditional places?
When I move to Chicago, I am so going to this Parish.
http://www.cantius.org/go
But check out this website..... http://www.ecclesiadei.org/masses.cfm
I think it lists most of the Parishes that use TLM across the country.

There is the Baltimore Basilica, America's first cathedral. (Not sure if they are TLM, though.)

Re: Across the USA - where are all the traditional places?
Visit Baltimore, the first American archdiocese, and the Basilica of the Assumption, the first American cathedral.
Among the people buried in the crypt is Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the only Catholic signatory to the Declaration of Independence.
There are two American Saints associated with this parish:

Lots more there, too. See the diocesan website.

My family and myself enjoy the mission trail in San Antonio. Very inspirational.

Re: Across the USA - where are all the traditional places?
Alright, two really good ones in the Massachusetts Area (both in Eastern/Central MA)
Mary Immaculate of Lourdes in Newton, MA.
http://www.maryimmaculatenewton.org/
They're split even between the Mass of Paul VI and the Tridentine. Though, they use the same old ad orientum altar for both Masses. They're a beautiful diocesan group.
St. Benedict Monastery , Still River (Harvard) MA. They do everything in the Tridentine style and even run a traditional school. They came into full communion with the Church a few years ago. http://www.saintbenedict.com/
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info. If I ever make it out to Rockford I will have to check it out.
