Mime hanging out in that park in Buffalo, New York?

Mime hanging out in that park in Buffalo, New York?

The city of good neighbors may have a mime hanging out in its largest park.

This is not news. This is also not a problem. This is simply a curiosity that was raised on the Buffalo subreddit (r/Buffalo) by a user wondering what the problem is with a particular individual.

What is a Mime?

A mime, according to Wikipedia, is a person who acts out stories and scenes without words, using only body gestures. You probably knew that.

It’s not a typically popular or regular thing to see these days, especially in a place like Buffalo. Some people equate them to silent clowns, which isn’t entirely untrue and isn’t an insult.

Regardless, mimes are not common. So why would there be one at Delaware Park, it seems?

Is that curious? Yes. People can wear whatever they want. He’s not hurting anyone and it’s really no one’s business. However, you have to admit that you are curious. After all, you are here right now. It’s definitely different and perhaps the makings of another great Buffalo resident with a fun quirk. These are the people who give Buffalo its character.

Many people have also seen it. Many others simply see him as a person who likes to dress that way. What do you think?
