How should I connect with my childhood friend?

When I was a kid, I had a fairly good friend - a boy, I'll say his name is George (I'm a girl) basically, like 7 years ago when I was 10 he was in that stage of "girls are gross" so my mom didn't let us play anymore.

His entire family moved away for four years in 2009, and they've just come back. But we haven't kept in contact, I just randomly wondered about him and looked him up. So anyways, now he's back here in my city and he's is super attractive and my boy radar went "ping!" So I would definitely like to meet him again (I'm not shallow, if he's a jerk obvs I won't do anything). But the thing is, I haven't seen him for seven years. How do I best go about this? Not to sound creepy, but I uses to go to his house all the time, so yes, I know his neighborhood and where he lives. NOT A STALKER just have great memory.

Also, we live close, but not so close that I will see him randomly. If I want to bump into him I'll have to do so "coincidentally".

And. Our moms are good friends, so we MAY do a get together. Probably not.

Anyways, how should I go about connecting with him?
