Latin Masses in the Cleveland area are offered at two parishes in Cleveland every Sunday and twice a month at a parish in Akron, according to this list offered by the Latin Liturgy Association. Indeed, the Immaculate Conception has a Tridentine Mass on Wednesdays as well as on Sundays.
The Divine Liturgy is sung at the Byzantine Catholic parishes of the Eparchy of Parma. Here's one Byzantine Catholic's travelogue on a tour of Cleveland churches.
