A quick Internet check shows Megan Barry is hitting fundraisers, hugging community leaders, tweeting at music stars, plugging her transit plan, being a cheerleader for Nashville sports teams — you know, just like a mayor does.

Here's the thing. She's no longer mayor.

In fact, six weeks ago, she pleaded guilty to a felony charge of stealing money from the city and resigned. Barry, in addition to being the city's first female mayor, also is the first mayor to plead guilty to a felony.

And there she is, posting about hobnobbing with a best-selling author at Parnassus, hanging at a community center celebration, playing inflatable guitars with a homeless advocate.
